Differences to CP/M plus:
New function.
Differences to CP/M 2.2 resp. DiCOS:
Old DiCOS function, but DE
=
0 is no longer permitted.
The file denoted by the FCB is printed in background mode.
If the file could not be opened, either because it has not been found or
a physical error occurred,
a value of 0FFH is returned in A,
otherwise
0.
When
an
error is detected during printing,
the print
process
is
aborted. The same will happen when the end of file is encountered.
If the file attribute bit £4' is set in the FCB, the file will be erased
after printout is completed.
Under EOS, this function has been inplemented by a function module named
$SPOOL.RSX.
If
a program needs this service,
it can be linked to that
program
by
the $MOD utility.
