I think that the idea of building a print spooler is not
necessarily the most expedient thing in the world. If
you've got the money, and the time for a toy project, though,
it might be fun.
Have you tried the public domain UNSPOOL program available somewhere
in MC:CPM;? IT is a rather nice unspooler I have seen working
on other systems. It does, however require something unusual in
the LSTSTAT bios call. I have tried it with my LSTSTAT on the
Morrow system with no luck at all (and the LSTSTAT works.)
Good luck with it. I would play with UNSPOOL first.

PS: has anyone got unspool up with a lststat...could you send
me a copy of your lstat code?
