Description:

FastSpool is an application to send data over the parallel
port much faster than by using the parallel: filing system.
In some cases (depending on the type of printer) the transfer
can be 5 times faster.  FastSpool is multitasking but requires
a parallel port that is of a type found on machines like the
A5000, RiscPC or later.
