Changes to SPOOL 19:57:28 Saturday, November 19, 1977
FQ+1D.14H.46M.0S.
1. You may now use the /REPEAT and /HOLD switches with XSPOOL and may
queue to the XGP spooler when it is down, as has always been allowed with
the lineprinter spooler. The reason for this is that these semi-
administrative controls do not prevent people from being losers with
leaving their listings around the XGP, but do prevent legitimate usage of
these features. Also, according to Les it is actually cheaper to make
multiple copies on the XGP than to Xerox them!
2. PPN parsing is now intelligent; null fields now default to the
appropriate field in the ALIAS PPN (not the login PPN, by popular
request). Almost any construct with PPN's that are meaningful but used to
be barfed at now work.
3. You can now unspool any job (ie, use the "privileged unspool") if you
use the /ALL switch in the UNSPOOL command.
4. SPOOL now defaults to .LPT if no extension is specified and no file
exists with the null extension.
5. XSPOOL now defaults to .XGP if no extension is specified and no file
exists with the null extension.
