|
* $FUNCNAME$
|
|
* FT_ISPRINT()
|
|
* $CATEGORY$
|
|
* DOS/BIOS
|
|
* $ONELINER$
|
|
* Check printer status
|
|
* $SYNTAX$
|
|
* FT_ISPRINT( [ <cDevice> ] ) -> lResult
|
|
* $ARGUMENTS$
|
|
* <cDevice> is optional and is the device to test (LPT2, COM1, etc.).
|
|
* If omitted, the function will default to the PRN device.
|
|
* $RETURNS$
|
|
* .T. if device is ready for output.
|
|
* .F. if one of the following conditions occurs:
|
|
* 1) The device is not ready.
|
|
* 2) The device does not exist.
|
|
* 3) DOS couldn't open the device for some reason
|
|
* (such as no file handles available).
|
|
* $DESCRIPTION$
|
|
* The Clipper IsPrinter() function is somewhat limited because it only
|
|
* works with LPT1. Furthermore, it talks directly to the hardware, so
|
|
* if you have redirected LPT1 via the DOS MODE command, the IsPrinter()
|
|
* function will return erroneous results.
|
|
*
|
|
* This function offers a better alternative. Instead of talking to the
|
|
* hardware, it issues a DOS call that checks to see if the device is
|
|
* ready or not. That gives DOS an opportunity to deal with any
|
|
* redirections, and since you pass the device name as a parameter, you
|
|
* can test any device, not just LPT1 (note that the function defaults
|
|
* to PRN if you fail to pass a valid parameter).
|
|
*
|
|
* The function also temporarily traps the DOS critical error handler so
|
|
* you don't get any nasty error messages if the device isn't ready. It
|
|
* restores the old critical error handler before exiting.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note that although this function is mainly designed for testing
|
|
* printers, you can also check to see if a drive is ready. Since DOS
|
|
* thinks the NUL device exists on every drive, you can pass a drive
|
|
* letter followed by NUL as a parameter. If DOS is able to open the
|
|
* NUL device, then the drive is ready, otherwise the door is open or
|
|
* something else is wrong.
|
|
*
|
|
* The source code is written to adhere to Turbo Assembler's IDEAL mode.
|
|
* To use another assembler, you will need to rearrange the PROC and
|
|
* SEGMENT directives, and also the ENDP and ENDS directives (a very
|
|
* minor task).
|
|
* $EXAMPLES$
|
|
* IF ! FT_ISPRINT()
|
|
* Qout( "PRN is not ready!" )
|
|
* ENDIF
|
|
*
|
|
* IF ! FT_ISPRINT( "COM2" )
|
|
* Qout( "Check the device on COM2. Something is wrong." )
|
|
* ENDIF
|
|
*
|
|
* IF ! FT_ISPRINT( "A:\nul" )
|
|
* Qout( "Oops, better check drive A!" )
|
|
* ENDIF
|
|
* $END$
