----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Since I have had many inquiries concerning this, it seems to be a topic of
general
interest to the net:
Many users of DOS-based PCs that access the wide variety of public-access
catalogs have had trouble when attempting to "log" a search session in order to
pull citations into word processing programs or bibliographic databases.
I have had good results with a shareware utility program called PRINDIR, which
redirects output that would normally be sent to a printer to a disk file,
which generally results in cleaner files and less cleanup afterwards.
I do not know where this program is available via FTP (if at all); however,
what follows is the registration page from the user manual so that those
interested can contact the program's author. If an FTP location is found, I'm
sure that others would be interested .
