{ Now it is my turn }

Hi,
  I have been reading all the articles asking about print spoolers, but I have
not seen one suggested.  Well, what I would like to know is if ya'll know of a
good one (preferably of the ShareWare type) that will take anything I am trying
to print (be it on lpt? or com? -- I want to be able to set that) and copy it
to a file, then take that file and blast it off to the printer when it can
ie. the printer comes on line.  This should be a TSR and be able to work with 
anything that can talk to the parallel or serial ports.

  I have seen one like the one I described, but it would only work with a 
Vendex system.  This one could pop up at anytime by way of selected hot keys
and then be adjusted (change port or filename to use, etc.).  I guess another
question I would have is how to get a piece of software that only works on a
Vendex computer to work on some other compatible.

Thank you!
