Dp23D
Description
4DPPRINT.EDM is a macro created by Tim Rude to allow use of the "Include Filename in RV" feature in DataPerfect if you also use DPPrint. DPPrint converts a file to WordPerfect 4.2 format before sending it to the printer. This will frequently alter printer codes in the original file in a way that makes the file unprintable. 4DPPRINT.EDM brackets each such ASCII character found in the file with ASCII 225 characters. This protects each such character from DPPrint conversion, allowing the file to be passed to the printer just as it was before DPPrint touched it.

Send to my palmtop
The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
