The utilities:

The main utility included in this package is the Spoolit.com file. This
is a memory resident program that works in conjunction with the Novell
Netware operating system. Once loaded, the program is invoked by hitting
the Alt-S keys together. This action will display a menu of options.
The first four options pertain to the system LST: catch spooler. These
options are self explanitory except for cancel queue. Cancel queue
will cancel any input that has been intercepted so far from LPT1: and
ALSO stop the spool catch.

The last option allows you to do the equivlent of a Netware NPRINT command
from within an application. When you select this option it will open a
second window, allowing you to enter a file name to print. The system
uses the spool existing file NETWARE call to perform this.


Include files:

Two include files are also contained within this ARC. These are the two
routines I wrote to control spooling activities. The first, SPOOLCNT.INC
will control the LST: catch spooler. You pass it an interger value as
follows.

0 = Start spool
1 = Stop spool
2 = Cancel spool
3 = Release spool without stopping.*

* This call is not compataible with any Netware version under 2.0. See note
below for fix.

The Second include file is SPOOLOUT.INC which accepts a file name as a sting
and performs the network "print existing file".
