/* $DOC$
* $FUNCNAME$
* 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
* $END$
