- On several machines running Windows 3.1, I have noted that system resources
- decline when many print jobs are aborted.
-
- On two that are running the debug kernel, I have confirmed that when a print
- job is aborted, some Windows may not get destroyed (3 per abort). No error
- messages appear at the time of the abort, obviously, but when the job is
- killed, the debug kernel reports `three Windows not destroyed'.
-
- I first noticed this in one of my own applications, and wasted hours looking
- for a bug (after all, other than the print dialog box it wasn't creating any
- Windows...). The noticed the same thing in MS Word, Notepad, and other
- applications. I print to PS printers mostly, and have tried PSCRIPT.DRV
- 3.50, 3.52 and 3.53 - all with the same results.
-
- Anyone notice this before? Is it configuration dependent? (DOS 5.0, 486's,
- Windows 3.1 enhanced mode). Does it depend on how PSCRIPT.DRV is installed?
- (I just copy the new versions on top of the old ones).
