You hit the nail in the head. I knew Diaquest used int 14 for communication
between the resident code and its utilities but I never thought Lantastic would
mess with that since he (David) wasn't redirecting any printer. I traced the
code and found that SERVER.EXE will trap int 14 and do all kinds of stuff with
it. This is what causes the "delay" once in a while.
I could not find any references in the Lantastic docs telling how to disable
that "feature". One way to fix this is making sure you (David) load the
Diaquest driver "After" the Lantastic stuff. That way, the Diaquest driver will
trap int 14 after SERVER thus "owning" it. As long as you don't try to redirect
a "serial" printer, SERVER will never notice it.
