I have uploaded to SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.printer> DMP205.ZIP Resident print spooler, spools to disk, memory I particularly like DMP because it has the ability to use expanded mem- ory as a dynamically sized spool area (i.e., it grabs memory as needed and then returns it when the need has passed). One minor complaint I have with the program is that its mechanism for controlling the output speed on a parallel port doesn't quite go high enough to let me drive my HP laser printer at full speed on my 386/33. I've mentioned this (via e-mail) to the author; I'll let you know if and when I hear anything significant in response. Let me emphasize that I think this is a minor issue -- not a fatal flaw by any means. Please note that the author has a new address for sending registrations. Also, the registration price is going up from the current $18; starting April 15, the fee will be $29. This info should be publicized ASAP. I downloaded DMP 2.05 from the Publishers' Paradise BBS in Alabama.
