[comp.windows.ms] Running spoolers with non-windows apps.

v027ef3u@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (Thomas L Daniels) (10/24/90)

I'm running windows 3.0 with 4 megs of RAM on a 386sx machine.  I want to 
use some of that big hunk of RAM for spooling documents that I print with
any of the non-windows applications that I use.  Is there any way to load,
say, AST's SuperSPOOL in the first chunk of the Extended memory I've got
without it messing with the memory managers that Windows uses?  I have the
manuals for SuperSPOOL but to be honest, I can't quite figure out exactly
where it puts the space for spooling documents.  I don't recall seeing any
switches for the Windows memory manager that would help me.  Naturally, the
tech support for these sorts of things is weak to non-existent (I had to
explain the difference between extended and expanded memory to the guy I
talked to the other day).
