SUPERSPOOL AND THE 3270 PC CONTROL PROGRAM
When using SuperSpool in the 3270PC, while the 3270PC Control
Program is resident, it is not recommended that Version 1.20 of
SuperSpool be used. Tests conducted by AST have revealed that
using this version causes the 3270 PC to "lock-up" or "hang".
The reason for this is because this version, when invoked,
determines the memory configuration of the system, before it
evaluates the parameters specified at the command line. When
doing this it overwrites and destroys the Control Program above
DOS (High Memory).
It is our recommendation that Version 1.30 of SuperSpool be used
with the 3270PC Control Program. This verison, unlike 1.20
evaluates the parameters specified at the command line first. It
then determines which memory it should use, and then reserves
that memory from DOS.
Testing was done using DOS 2.10, 2.00, and level 1.10 of IBM's
3270PC Control Program.
Note: Version 1.30 of SuperSpool is presently part of SuperPak
4.1.
