Dear ASP-approved Vendor:
Here is the latest version of DISK SPOOL II for you to distribute. Please
include all files on this diskette except, of course, this VENDOR.DOC file.
You may have a problem in this regard: the newly created INSTALL program
takes a whopping 184k! So, you're going to find that the files that
make up my product won't fit on a single 360k diskette in unzipped form.
If you want to distribute my product in unzipped form on 360k diskettes, and
hence have to use two diskettes, please put the files on the disketttes
like this:
Diskette 1
INSTALL.BAT
DSINSTL.EXE
README.1ST (Note: you don't have to include this file. It simply
tells the user how begin. You'll probably surplace
this with your own README file.)
Diskette 2
DS2INSHP.HLP
DS2.ZIP
PKUNZIP.EXE
If you would like to zip the files, that's fine. Just tell the user to un-zip
them to their hard drive, make the hard drive the default drive, and then run
INSTALL.
Thank you very much for your support.
Sincerely,
Mike Samuels

Description: Sets up a print spooling environment where printed output
is spooled to disk, rather than to memory.
Hardware: IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or compatible
Software: DOS 2.0, or later
Features added
since prior (2.05)
release: -- Network support.
-- Expanded (EMS) and Extended (HMA) support.
-- Device driver model supported.
-- Full Windows 3.x support.
-- AutoCad support.
-- Popup menu supports VGA graphics applications.
-- A sophisticated INSTALL program.
Features: -- Saves you time by printing in the background.
-- Works with virtually all applications; no modifications
necessary.
-- Pop-up menu obtainable from within almost any application
controls starting and stopping spooling, starting and
stopping printing, displaying the contents of the spool
file or files, changing printing ports, and much more.
-- Can be set up to spool data being sent to COM1, COM2,
LPT1, or LPT2.
-- Can print the contents of the spool file to COM1, COM2,
LPT1, or LPT2.
-- Can re-direct printed output to a device driver, to a
disk file, or to BIOS. Thus, it works in conjunction
with virtually any other printer enhancement software.
-- Can be configured to create different spool files for
each document.
-- Spool file is a DOS file, and therefore can be loaded
into a word processor, or other program.
-- Only as much disk file space used as is needed to
contain the spooled data. Spool file grows dynamically.
-- Supports spool file attributes such as number of copies,
output port, whether or not to save file after printing,
etc.
-- Has the ability to monitor the COM ports for incoming
data, and spool the data to disk; all in the background.
-- Very fast printing.
-- Defined hooks into software functions enables programmers
to control the functions from within their own program.
-- Ability to load virtually entirely in Extended memory.
-- Ability to dynamically use Expanded memory.
-- Networking facilities.
-- Special feature that allows user to designate a directory
and file "skeleton" so that any file that appears in
that directory, and fits the skeleton will immediately
be enqueued for background printing. This is like an
automatic PRINT.COM command.
Registration: $44. Upon registering, you receive:
-- The latest version of the software.
-- A printed user's manual.
-- Free unlimited tech support.
-- Notification of new releases, and upgrade discounts.
