Windows 10 SCO Filepro issue

[Bob Rasmussen]

Rod,

Pardon me if I repeat tests you have already done. If you set up two PCs 
with the same emulator, configured as the same terminal type, connect via 
telnet to the SCO box, log in to SCO as the same Unix user, run the same 
filePro startup script, and do H for harcopy at the earliest possible 
moment, one prints via the system printer and the other doesn't?

Are their environment variables the same (run 'set')? They should be. Note 
especially LPDEST.

Is there anything in the filePro startup script that is dependent on what 
the 'tty' command returns? Or in a shell startup script (/etc/profile, 
.profile, or similar)?

What about that file (gettydefs? passwd?) that sets some things based on 
tty value.

Do you get the same results from 'stty -a'?
