INTRODUCTION
Welcome to NBSpool
NBSpool streamlines and automates the management of spool files generated by all applications,
seamlessly distributing the printing function across networks and printer devices. Originally written
to provide a method of moving spool files across a network, NBSpool quickly grew into a powerful,
easy-to-use facility for performing a large variety of functions on spool files.
NBSpool matches and surpasses the functionality of the MPE utility
SPOOK
while using concise,
simple commands that follow the familiar
SPOOK
syntax. NBSpool makes complex spool
management simple and intuitive, allowing end users to easily tap into corporate information
resources without steep learning curves.
Note. The maximum number of spool files NBSpool can operate on is
16,380
. This
applies to all NBSpool commands with the exception of the
STORE
command.
