- Description: Sets up a print spooling environment where printed output
- is spooled to disk, rather than to memory. Includes many
- advanced features, yet is simple to install and use.
- Now in its 8th year, DISK SPOOL II is among the leaders
- world-wide in the print spooling software.
-
- Hardware: IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or compatible
- Software: DOS 2.0, or later
-
- Latest feature: Programmer .OBJ's are included for enabling
- custom background printing support.
-

-
- 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.
