Didn't they (Ziff-Davis) also allow users to D/L the source? I don't recall what language it was in, but I do recall (I think) that it was one of those toolbox/tutorials they run, illustrating multi-threading and/or multiple instances. Anyway, if the source is available, then it could probably be re-compiled for WIN2K ; heck ZD might even re-compile it if enough folks requested it.
I love PrintNow. I encountered it initially in a large-scale corporate environment where users invoked it to quickly dump a mainframe "green-screen" from their PC-based terminal-emulated session to a LAN printer, rather than have to deal with the mainframe printer for ad hoc output. That's not a knock on big iron, because, believe me, I also learned something about large-scale computing while I was there.
