However, what you refer to as spool management includes both the software (application level) front end which no doubt accesses the operating system which is responsible for allowing access to hardware. The integrated file system will no doubt also make a lot of calls to the OS. The TCP/IP stack is mostly a broker between applications (local and remote) but it will of course be managed by the OS which is responsible for providing a means for communication between tasks. -- Chris Rehm javadisciple@earthlink.net If you believe that the best technology wins the marketplace, you haven't been paying attention.
