The FORPGMRS.EXE file is a self-extracting .EXE which contains a set of
.OBJ's which programmers can use to build background printing facilities
into their own applications. BabySpool was built using these same .OBJ's.
There are 3 levels of background printing support:
1. You supply the hooks to whatever background interrupt mechansisms you
choose (for instance, the port's own interrupt signal), and pass me
a some bytes during each cycle. I'll take care of the chores of
getting the data out to the port.
2. Adding on to 1., above, I'll supply the interrupt mechanism support. You
just pass me a block of data to print, as well as a callback address. I'll
let you know when I've finished with that block.
3. Adding on to 2., above, just pass me a <filespec> and a callback address.
I'll let you know when I've finished printing the file.
The file OBJLIB.DOC, contained in FORPGMRS.EXE, gives a full description
of the various facilites provided and the API's involved.
Also, there are fully functional demo programs written that you can use as
a blueprint for your own design.
There is a $250 fee to purchase the rights to use this library of .OBJ's.
