- What one has received in this distribution is the single print server
- version of MTVSpool, a workstation based non-dedicated distributed print
- service for Novell NetWare 2.1 and above. MTVSpool has gone through two
- minor revisions (bug fixes) since being uploaded to BIX and other bulletin
- boards late last year. The following is a breakdown of the fixes:
-
- MTVSpool Version 2.01 -
-
- o Fixed the printer servicing routine's logic to keep it from timing
- out with printers which take a long time to clock data in from the
- parallel interface. This time-out problem caused MTVSpool to print
- very slowly on some printers (e.g. Panasonic KXP-1124).
-
- MTVSpool Version 2.02 -
-
- o Increased the MTVSpool's stack size to keep it from hanging the
- machine due to stack overflow, which was usually caused by machines
- which have several active interrupt driven interfaces (i.e two or
- more COM: ports, mouse, NIC, etc...).
-
- o Added a more robust interrupt-in-service check to allow MTVSpool to
- favor lower priority interrupts (MTVSpool hooks IRQ0) such as the
- keyboard and COM ports.
-
- o Added get/set preferred server routines to allow MTVSpool to be
- able to handle those instances where a user might be attached
- to more than one server.
-
-
- In addition, anyone having questions about MTVSpool may contact me
- via BIX Mail under the account name MVANDITTA. If one is not familiar
- with BIX, it is the Byte Information Exchange. The charge for BIX is a
- flat rate of $39.00 for a three month subscription with a $3.00 per hour
- telecomm charge for off-peak usage and $6.00 per hour telecomm charge for
- on-peak usage. If one uses BIX a lot like myself, then one may wish to
- register for the $20.00 per month flat rate telecomm service which allows
- unlimited off-peak usage. One may become a registered BIX user by calling
- BIX Customer Support @ (800) 227-2983. I look forward to hearing from
- those users who are interested in using MTVSpool.
