- well, the daemon that supports multiple printers under windows
- (as well as the nifty new windows apps and the ftpd and the telnetd and
- all the other stuff) is available in our version 3.0.
-
- demo copies available. please *FAX* requests to +1 416 765 0815.
-
- demos are shipping now (no printed manuals :-))
-
- production code will be shipping as soon as the manuals come
- back from the printer. (late this week, early next week).
-
- i will be posting in comp.newprod shortly ...
