Minor patch to re-enable logging to a dot-matrix printer which was lost between the v1.3.1 and v1.4 patch.

"NET USE LPT1: \[Computer-Name]\Printer /PERSISTENT:YES"
Then, in the Terminal Configuration (accessed using the command argument -c) you need to enable the external log and ensure it is set to LPT1:
However, for those unfortunate enough to not have 30+ year old obsolete printers, and are technically minded, this External Log can be set to any file handle.
