= SUMMARY =

The MAKEPRD utility does not accept the complete pathname of either the printer driver or the text file when prompted if either is greater than 29 characters. An error message is displayed and the utility aborts.

There are two workarounds to this situation:

  Copy the printer driver to the same directory as the MAKEPRD utility and create the text file in this directory.   Run MAKEPRD by supplying the printer driver and text file path and filenames on the command, as in the following example: makeprd /p c:.prd c:.doc
