Default Upgrading a DOS program that prints labels.

I have a small DOS program written in PASCAL that prints labels on a
tractor feed dot matrix printer that does not work in WinXP anymore. I have
two questions:

1. The program worked perfectly in Win98 but in WinXP it only prints once
the program is closed. The Printing Troubleshooter refers to this issue but
does not provide an solution. Can anyone help.

2. Another option is to convert this program to Excel/VBA. In Pascal I used
the statement writeln(lst... to send data directly to the printer. Is there
a way to do this in VBA. The normal print functions include form feeds which
is not what I want.

Some posters refer to Mailmerge and Word, but I would like to keep things
simple.

Thanks
Laurence
