Dear ASP-approved Vendor:
Here is the latest version of DISK SPOOL II for you to distribute. Please
include all files on this diskette except, of course, this VENDOR.DOC file.
You may have a problem: the newly created INSTALL program is so big that
you're going to find that the files that make up my product
won't fit on a single 360k diskette in unzipped form. (I prefer uncompressed
distribution, since my INSTALL extracts only those files needed according
to the user's selections; and so I end up taking quite a bit less space on
their hard disk that way.)
If you want to distribute my product in unzipped form on 360k diskettes, and
hence have to use two diskettes, please put the files on the disketttes
like this:
Diskette 1
INSTALL.BAT
DSINSTL.EXE
README.1ST
SP2ORD.FRM
Diskette 2
DS2INSHP.HLP
DS2.ZIP
PKUNZIP.EXE
FORPGMRS.EXE
All the customer has to do is put the 1st diskette into their drive, make
that the default drive, and key INSTALL. Of course, if they only have
one diskette, then they put that one in their drive, again making that the
default drive, and then again key INSTALL.
If you would like to zip the files, that's fine. Just tell the user to un-zip
them to their hard drive, make the hard drive the default drive, and then run
INSTALL.
Thank you very much for your support.
Sincerely,
Mike Samuels

Description: Sets up a print spooling environment where printed output
is spooled to disk, rather than to memory. Includes many
advanced features, yet is simple to install and use.
Now in its 8th year, DISK SPOOL II is among the leaders
world-wide in the print spooling software.
Hardware: IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or compatible
Software: DOS 2.0, or later
Latest feature: Programmer .OBJ's are included for enabling
custom background printing support.
Features added
since prior (2.05)
release: -- Network support.
-- Expanded (EMS) and Extended (HMA) support.
-- Device driver model supported.
-- Full Windows 3.x support.
-- AutoCad support.
-- Popup menu supports VGA graphics applications.
-- A sophisticated INSTALL program.
Features: -- Saves you time by printing in the background.
-- Works with virtually all applications; no modifications
necessary.
-- Pop-up menu obtainable from within almost any application
controls starting and stopping spooling, starting and
stopping printing, displaying the contents of the spool
file or files, changing printing ports, and much more.
-- Can be set up to spool data being sent to COM1, COM2,
LPT1, or LPT2.
-- Can print the contents of the spool file to COM1, COM2,
LPT1, or LPT2.
-- Can re-direct printed output to a device driver, to a
disk file, or to BIOS. Thus, it works in conjunction
with virtually any other printer enhancement software.
-- Can be configured to create different spool files for
each document.
-- Spool file is a DOS file, and therefore can be loaded
into a word processor, or other program.
-- Only as much disk file space used as is needed to
contain the spooled data. Spool file grows dynamically.
-- Supports spool file attributes such as number of copies,
output port, whether or not to save file after printing,
etc.
-- Has the ability to monitor the COM ports for incoming
data, and spool the data to disk; all in the background.
-- Very fast printing.
-- Defined hooks into software functions enables programmers
to control the functions from within their own program.
-- Ability to load virtually entirely in Extended memory.
-- Ability to dynamically use Expanded memory.
-- Networking facilities.
-- Special feature that allows user to designate a directory
and file "skeleton" so that any file that appears in
that directory, and fits the skeleton will immediately
be enqueued for background printing. This is like an
automatic PRINT.COM command.
Registration: $44. Upon registering, you receive:
-- The latest version of the software.
-- A printed user's manual.
-- Free unlimited tech support.
-- Notification of new releases, and upgrade discounts.
