Quick and dirty lpr for text files


The following works well enough from Emacs and the command line (bash or MSDOG)
for basic printing text files to the default printer.  It even supports
piping (necessary for emacs).

----------------------- cut here -----------------------
@echo off
if "%1" == "" goto NOFILES
:LOOP
start /m \Windows\Notepad /p %1
shift
if NOT "%1" == "" goto LOOP
goto THEEND
:NOFILES
copy con \Cygnus\tmpprint
start /m \Windows\Notepad /p \Cygnus\tmpprint
:THEEND
----------------------- cut here -----------------------
