!1.  Make sure you have SET TEMP=c:\<your temp directory> in your
!    autoexec.bat.  Don't use a RAM disk for your temp directory.
!    Temp directory should have at least 6 Meg free.

Could someone explain why this is? Since the RAM disk goes at CPU
speed how could this possibly be slower????

!3.  Make sure you have the LATEST print driver.  HP has new print drivers
!    for its LaserJet III family.

Could some kind person please upload these to CICA or SIMTEL20 ??
