Introduction
------------

DISK SPOOL II is a very powerful memory resident print-spooler-
to-disk utility.  It is highly compatible with virtually all
computer applications.  For a short demo of the product, key
in SP2DEMO.  To get started quickly, pick one of the
4 versions described below, and load it up ... just key the
name of the program.  It will load itself into memory, and also
inform you what the hot-key assignments are.  All of the versions
are pre-configured with the most generally used installation
options, and also, DISK SPOOL II is very intuitive, so you should
be able to start putting it to use with very little effort.

Learning about DISK SPOOL II
----------------------------

There are several ways to learn about DISK SPOOL II.  First,
read the document SP2.DOC.  Secondly, there is context sensitive
HELP text available by taking the HELP option from any tier
of the pop-up menu.  A third way to get to know the product
is to read the parameter descriptions at the bottom of the
configuration program (SP2CFG.COM).

There are 4 versions of DISK SPOOL II contained in this diskette:

SP2    - The full functioning version.
SP2S   - This version takes up less memory than SP2, and does
         not have the Timing Tests functions, or the ability
         to monitor the COMx ports for trapping data coming in
         from external sources.
SP2SS  - A smaller version yet.  In this version, the ability
         to view the contents of files from within the pop-up
         menu is not present.
SP2SSS - The smallest version (only takes up about 17k once loaded).
         With this version, you don't have the pop-up menu.
         Note, however, that most of the pop-up menu functions
         can be performed from the command line, so you still have
         a good deal of control.

Please note: the same configuration program is run for all 4
             versions -- SP2CFG.  You select which version you
             are working with from an initial menu.


One Last Note
-------------

If you want to print a text file from DOS.  Use my SP2PRT.COM
program.  It works better than using DOS' TYPE or COPY commands.
Example:  SP2PRT sp2.doc lpt1.  This command will print the
file sp2.doc to lpt1.

 
Good luck, and happing spooling.
