Has anyone had success in using SuperLaserSpool with System 7.0? I've 
tried SLS 2.02 with System 7.0FC1 and have not been able to make it work. 
I've tried putting SLS in the Extensions folder and I've tried it in the 
System Folder, with and without an alias in the Extensions folder. (And 
yes, I have removed PrintMonitor from the System Folder.) In every 
combination I've tried, printing anything (bit-mapped fonts, TrueType 
fonts, PostScript fonts) causes my Mac to hang.

I haven't reported this to Fifth Generation Systems (the new owners ofr 
SLS) because when I called them last week to tell them that SLS wouldn't 
work with Full Impact, they kept me on hold for 47 minutes before I could 
get in touch with tech support. The tech I talked to said that 47 minutes 
wasn't bad for them. He couldn't help me with that problem, either; he 
didn't seem to know much about SLS.

It looks to me as though FGS has bitten off more than they can chew with 
their recent software acquisitions. It may be time to let SuperLaserSpool 
die off (and maybe SuitCase, too). Anybody know how to make SuitCase II remember which suitcases you have open and automatically open them when you reboot?
