AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0066 11-27-84 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.
