1.20

MS-DOS


Problem:
   My system stops when I attempt to print a file without the printer 
being connected. 

Response:
   If you attempt to print without connecting to a printer while using
Multiplan Version 2.00, there will be a 30-second pause while DOS
attempts to find a printer. After this time, the message "Printer
Error" will appear and control will be returned to the command line. 
   Note that the pause is a function of DOS, so machines that run
other operating systems (such as proprietary versions of DOS) may
behave differently. 
   This problem was corrected in Multiplan Version 2.00.
