Subject: Redirecting printer output to file

When a large quantity of output is to be redirected, utilities that
rely on an in-memory buffer are inadequate.

BackGrounder ii includes a print spooling command that will redirect
output of any number of successive programs, limited only by the
capacity of the disk to hold the output file.  The companion "Q"
utility prints files from a queue as a true background process, i.e.
while you are running other programs.  The spooling features were
reviewed in Profiles, May 1988.
