Summary:
   The following error message is generated if a COBOL tries to print
to a printer that is not on-line:
   "Write Fault Error Writing Device PRN
   Abort Retry Ignore?"
   This MS-DOS error message is generated after one minute has
elapsed. This delay occurs as a result of a change that was made to
MS-DOS Version 3.00.
   The same behavior is exhibited with a MS-DOS "COPY filename PRN"
command.
