I am one of those who has/had a perfectly ordinary and acceptable spooler 
for the Mac and Imagewriter, it is/was put out by the same people who did
SuperLaser Spool.  The problem is, when you go to multifinder, you lose that
capability.  I find this rather incongrous, since one would think that with
multifinder it should be trivial to make a program to do the job.  Indeed, 
multifinder comes with something that does the job for laserwriters.  It is 
a full sweep for Apple's kindness in giving us something "free"....they 
effectively knock the feet out from under the vendor of Superlaserspool, yet
don't go far enough to solve the problem entirely.  At the A32 club meeting
in November, a large number of people were similarly disgruntled at having
spooling taken away by multifinder.  The multifinder is handy enough that 
my choice is to do without spooling for a few more weeks in hopes that some
enterprising soul will remedy the situation.  I hope to read about it here.

The vendor is SuperMac.  My local sources tell me they are working on an 
upgrade for the Imagewriter Spooler.  I actually hope they also fix their
SuperLaser Spooler, since it seems to have a little more than the Apple freebie.
