Sure looked like it >when I used it. Well, it's called a print manager and it does manage to keep two jobs aimed at the same device from conflicting with each other, but it's not smart enough to twiddle with the data stream one way when it's talking directly to the device and another way when it's handing off to a network. Likewise DOS applications running under windows or network links or both don't (and shouldn't) know that they aren't talking directly to the device through the DOS driver. The only real solution is to make a data stream that works under all conditions. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us
