- I tried, and tried: Loaded DMP with the /dd: switch, to use the ramdisk
- as the spooler location. The program reported that it was loaded, spooled
- to the ramdisk, with 1K avaliable for spooling and none spooled. I then
- loaded dv, loaded nb4, called a file, and went to Dos, to tell DMP to print
- to a disk, since I don't have a printer attached here at school, then back
- to NB, typed "print" and timed it. 30sec. I then tried a printd, to see
- how long nb, without spooling of any sort, would take to write the file:
- 20sec. The files were, as expected, identical, and the only file in the
- D: drive was the print.tmp than NB produced to print the files.
- I did the same things outside of DV, with about 4 sec. less in
- each (printing, to disk with DMP, and printd, through NB), but no seeming
- spooling (getting the program back faster) by using DMP. Am I missing
- something? When I did this at home, actually printing, there wasn't any
- spooling going on either. ?
