Specifically, I need a TSR to do background printing. You haven't found anything because it's already there in DOS. If you look in a good 3rd party DOS tech reference (e.g., MSDOS Encyc.), there is a function in the multiplex interrupt that lets you hook into the spooler code in DOS -- it's what print uses. You can hand it files, etc. -- Barry Press Internet: press@venice.sedd.trw.com
