[] Not long ago I posted a query to the net, asking for someone to explain how the DA called "MultiTask Print" was supposed to work. The answer was E-mailed to me: From: haj1 (Greg Hajek) |It only prints TEXT documents, so MacWrite and Word files are right |out of the picture. It only prints in draft mode. Essentially, what |it does is send data until the Imagewriter buffer fills up, [then does |processing on the current application,] and then shoots |off another bundle of text, thus alleviating the syndrome of having the |computer sitting around waiting for printer finish its business when there |is nothing else (such as font compression, etc.) to be done. |Greg Hajek |U. of Chicago ...ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!haj1 |Laboratory for Astrophysics and Space Research Since I tied up the net with a request that was answered by a user on my own machine [!] I offer to make amends by e-mailing this little ditty to all askers. I don't know if it's 'shareware' or not; I still haven't used it and probably won't. But I will mail it, and hope that, given moderate demand, that recipients will post it to their local Mac boards.
