EZ-SPOOL, originally developed by MicroSabio as a front-end to the AMOS spooler, provides some printing-related convenience features such as printer selection menus and file preview. The A-Shell version of EZ-SPOOL is quite similar to the AMOS version, but with some limitations and some extensions. Perhaps most importantly for those not interested in these features, they remain silent and hidden unless you go out of your way to activate them. Such people may safely ignore EZ-SPOOL. For those that are interested, this section briefly describes how EZ-SPOOL is configured under A-Shell.
EZ-SPOOL (EZSPL.SBR) is hooked into the front end of the spooler interface by substituting for SPOOL.SBR. Under A-Shell, this is accomplished through the subroutine ALIAS facility within the MIAME.INI file. In fact, A-Shell does not contain an ordinary SPOOL.SBR, so you have to use the EZ-SPOOL version. However, as mentioned above, the EZ-SPOOL version acts just like the ordinary one unless you create the necessary configuration files.
