I have an application that is supposedly emitting PCL code. I have a file that supposedly came from this application. I have to convert to ASCII, have it sent to another computers serial port, and write the ASCII data to a file. I have installed a parallel cable, a parallel to serial converter and then a serial cable going right into a laptop PC running hyperterm. If I "type filename > lpt1" I see the ASCII on the hyperterm...if I "copy filename lpt1" I see the ASCII on the hyperterm. Anyone know how to convert a PCL file/string into an ASCII string or write to a file as an ASCII string?
