[net.micro.amiga] Print Spoolers

I have written a very small program which allows the user to asynchronously
print arbitrary screens  and windows. The advantages of the program are two
fold:

	(1)	Applications which DO NOT  support  screen dumping can have
		their screens dumped.

	(2)	Applications which  DO  support screen dumping can continue
		to run since they themselves aren't waiting for the printer
		to finish.

The program seems to be bullet proof and even operates correctly with extra
memory.

Actually the printer driver paradigm is REALLY neat. You can actually spec-
ify how many pixels will  correspond  to a printer dot. THAT is flexibility
defined.

Your print spooler sounds great.  Are you going to post it?
