Hi Lesha,

Replying to a message of Lesha Tsoorgaev to All:

[snip TIMER0.SYS replacement]
LT> TSPOOL... This is a spooler for T-Shell. It is simply monitoring LPT,
LT> write spool queue and then despool it quietly, not disturbing a user
LT> with pop-up messages if a printer is busy. It does no transformations
LT> but allow to send some data before and after each file printed (to
LT> download national fonts, for example). It provide the very fast way
LT> to terminate an entire queue too. VP/2 sources are available.

This sounds quite interesting.

One of the irksome "features" of TSHELL has been its lack of print spooling.
Does your spooler handle multiple LPT ports?

Regards
