Jim,
I understand that you are now satisfied with our SuperLaserSpool product;
however, allow me to explain a few things...
#1 Please understand that we do NOT have true multi-tasking with the
current Mac OS. Thus, two processes cannot occurs simultaneously.
#2 Word 3.0 was a CPU hog, but versions 3.01 and 3.02 seems to solve part
of the problem...which was when typing Word wasn't being too nice to ANY
background process.
#3 Under MultiFinder any and all background processes are TOTALLY
dependent upon MultiFinder to determine how much time they can get as a
background process. Under the Finder, SLS 2.0x make its own determination
and in most cases, SLS and SuperSpool will be a little faster under the
Finder versus MultiFinder.
#4 Also...increasing the spoolers Print Buffer size (via the Laser Queue or
Print Queue DA) will improve the performance of the spooler.
#5 Finally with respects to our advertising, SuperLaserSpool is compatible
with the following printers: Apple's LaserWriter, LaserWriter Plus,
LaserWriter II SC/NT/NTX, AppleTalk ImageWriter II/LQ, and direct
connect ImageWriter I/II/LQ; PostScript compatible laser printers that
use Apple's LaserWriter driver; and any HP printer that is supported by
Insight Development's MacPrint driver software.
I hope that this clarifies things.
