Some time ago, John Collins posted a quite good spooler to the net.
It featured such things as multiple spooler support, user billing,
job prioritization, the ability to redirect/hold/cancel/reschedule
jobs, printer pitch selection and initialization, full-screen maintenance
and operator screens,etc., etc.  As I finally got it--directly from
John--it did have some deficiencies (for instance, couldn't handle
'dumb' printers that don't support backspace and tabs), and no way
to create batch user reports; and a number of small bugs.

I've fixed all of the mentioned deficiencies, and fixed all the bugs I
found.  I tried to contact John to 'sell' these changes back into his
official version, but haven't had any response from him in several mailings;
so I'll both ask him here to contact me, if he wants the changes and fixes;
and I will honor requests from those who wish the package and updates.
If I get an overwhelming response, maybe a reposting is in order.
