A question in which I am also deeply interested. I quote from the April
1991 issue of Australian MacWorld:
"The StyleWriter does not at the time of its release support background
printing (print spooling) under MultiFinder; Apple's choice was to get the
product out the door and follow up as quickly as possible with an updated
printer driver to add that capability, sorely needed for an otherwise slow
printer. We understand that SuperMac's Super spoolers do work"

Does anyone know whether the last sentence is true? Martin Davies at
davies@athena.mit.edu will be picking up his SW from the MIT shop on Tuesday
next, having been persuaded in this direction by the collective wisdom of
the net - he'll be trying SuperSpool as soon as he gets it so the Real Facts
should be obtainable from him.
