5.3 ESPOOL.EXE Print Spooler

One

of

the

most

frustrating

things

about

using a

computer

is

the

fact

that

whenever

you send

~ata

out

to

your

printer,

your

system is

often

incapable

of

doing

any

other

tasks

during

the

printing

process.

This

problem

can

be especially

intolerable

when

printing

long documents, since all

that

time

wasted

by

the

computer

just

to

print

a

long

document

can

definitely be

put

to

better

use.

On

the

RAM

3000 Deluxe

software

diskette is a

program

called ESPOOL.EXE,

which

allows

your

computer

to

do

other

tasks while

the

printer

is

printing

a

long

document.

ESPOOL.EXE installs a

print

buffer

of

any

size

from

lKB

to

15360KB

on

any

type

of

memory

(base, extended,

or

ex-

panded),

and

can

direct

the

contents

of

the

print

spooler

to

any

parallel

or

serial

port

in

your

computer.

5.3.1

Installing ESPOOL.EXE

1.

Use

the

the

root

directory

of

your

system disk.

That's

all you need
