Do you have Windows HIMEM.SYS present in your config.sys? The DOS
Extender that Ultrascript doesn't get along with himem.sys on all
machines. If not, what does your config.sys look like? Be suspicious
of any programs that use extended memory.

Even though the manual says it should work fine with himem.sys, that
isn't true. I discussed this with the tech. support people at QMS.
Once you get by this problem, you should be very happy with
Ultrascript.

I have successfully used it with all windows applications; I am using
a DeskJet and a PaintJet(color). It is compatible with the DMP
spooler. If you can afford it, get 1-2Mbytes of extended memory for
Ultrascript, so it can always be resident.
