Printing a text file. [message #28330]

I am looking for ways to print an ascii text file from within an IDL
application. I need to be able to do this for unix, windows and macos.
Unix is not a problem: I spawn a command such as "lpr -Plp0 filename".
With Windows the best I have been able to come up with is to spawn a
command such as "c:\windows\notepad.exe /p filename" which is not very
elegant (and nor is the printout). I haven't yet investigated
possibilities for macos.

Also does anyone know of a way to attach the date and time to
printouts of IDL source code? I get very confused when I have multiple
printouts and do not know which is the latest version.

Your comments are appreciated.
