FSPOOL COMMAND DOCUMENTATION

The FSPOOL command allows you to redirect output which would
normally be sent to a parallel printer and store it in a disk
file. This might be useful if you plan to later send the file
over a modem to another computer for printing. FSPOOL is invoked
as follows:

FSPOOL

Where is the file into which the print data is to be
placed. The file need not exist, but if it does, it will be
deleted and recreated. Once FSPOOL has been invoked for the first
time the message:

FSPOOL INSTALLED

will appear and the command portion will exit, leaving behind a
permanant printer interrupt handler built-in to DOS. Output
directed to the printer will be directed to the file until an
error occurs or the disk containing the file becomes full (in
this case an error message will be displayed and the file is
closed).

At any time the user may stop the spooling process and redirect
printer output to the printer by typing:

FSPOOL

with no filename. FSPOOL may be restarted at any time again as
described above (but the permanent part remains resident even
when it has been disabled).

FSPOOL works with DOS 2.0 (other versions of DOS may work, but
they have not been tested). It uses about 4K of memory once
installed. Because of a DOS version dependent patch it is
possible to use the PrtSc key with FSPOOL but this is sometimes a
risky business! FSPOOL should work with most word processors just
fine, however.
