Well, there is a third choice. Clifton Oliver & Associates Extended
SPooler system (ESP) was written on UniVerse Windows to overcome a
similar problems, in this case, to port UniVerse Unix applications to
UniVerse Windows and to overcome the limitations and performance
issues of the UniVerse spooler on Unix in large shops with hundreds
of "hold" files.

John,
As others have suggested, there is no print spooler in Universe on
Windows.
If your goal is to provide a "gui front end for spooler management"
that
works for UV under both .nix and Windows, then I think you have two
choices.
1.Write a print spooler for UV/NT that functions like the print
spooler
in UV/nix with a gui front end (but does not look anything like the
print
spooler found in generic Pick databases).
2.Write (or purchase) a generic Pick print spooler that runs on
both
UV/NT and UV/nix with a gui front end.
Most of our customers have been running on generic Pick databases
for the
past 20+ years, and we wanted to be able to move them to Universe
on Windows
or .nix, so we wrote a generic Pick print spooler, SpoolerPlus, to
make that
transition as easy and as transparent as possible.
We then ported Spooler Plus to Unidata/NT with only minor
modifications.
Our next step is to port SpoolerPlus to Universe/nix, and then to
Unidata/nix, to provide a consistent generic Pick print and spooler
management environment on all U2 platforms.
Since there are so many different "gui" tools and environments,
SpoolerPlus
is written in Basic and Proc, with the option of converting its
menus, entry
screens, displays and reports to the gui environment of your choice.
I'll be glad to provide you information about SpoolerPlus if you
wish and
answer any questions you may have to help you achieve your goal.
Best regards,
Dave

Subject: [U2] SETPTR MODE 1
I have been looking at Universe in PICK flavour on Windows.
Does anyone know where the output goes with setptr mode 1 and HOLD.
(I have always used mode 3)
Is it accessible in basic with a file read.
where is the SPOOL - LIST job description data kept and can i
access this
in
basic
It seems like there is a gui front end for spooler management
under unix
but
not in windows
I would like to be able to come up with something that works with
either
if
thats possible.
