If you've got the money, and the time for a toy project, though, it might be fun. Have you tried the public domain UNSPOOL program available somewhere in MC:CPM;? IT is a rather nice unspooler I have seen working on other systems. It does, however require something unusual in the LSTSTAT bios call. I have tried it with my LSTSTAT on the Morrow system with no luck at all (and the LSTSTAT works.) Good luck with it. I would play with UNSPOOL first. David DAG at UCB-ARPA PS: has anyone got unspool up with a lststat...could you send me a copy of your lstat code?
