   PrinterStealer:
   --------------
         This utility is destinated to replace a printer connected to AMIGA
         by a file. PrinterStealer works by replacing the standard
         parallel.device ( or serial.device depending on Preferences ) by
         its own device that writes to a file all WRITE commands.

         PrinterStealer can be loaded from CLI or by an icon. Type into the
         string gadget a file name (if file <file name> already exists then
         it will be created anew ) to which you want the output to be
         send. At the moment you click on the START gadget, the Stealer
         device is created and linked to the system before the standard
         devices.  Now, whenever you access PRT: (printer.device or a PRINT
         option in any software), the translated output for the printer
         installed with Preferences will be written to the file.
         You can pause/restart the process by clicking at SUSPEND gadget.
         To remove the stealer device press STOP gadget ( it will also close
         the file).


   EXAMPLE with DPaint:
   -------------------
         Install the desired printer with Preferences. Then load DPaint and
         PrinterStealer. Load a picture with DPaint. Enter a file name into
         PrinterStealer string gadget and press START button. This will
         create the file and the stealer device. Choose PRINT option of
         DPaint. Then sit back and watch your drives turning....
         After 'printing' this image, you can continue printing to the
         same file just by loading another image and choosing the PRINT
         option again. If you wish to print to another file, enter
         another file name to the PrinterStrealer's string gadget. The
         previously opened file will be closed, and a new one created.


         Enjoy!
