Chris,
Here's a quick test for you. If you have a printer, disconnect it.
Now, start up PKAZIP, and click on the PRINT gadget. Watch PKAZIP change
the mouse pointer to the "ZZZ" cloud. Wait for the printer dwarf to pop up
its little requester. Click on CANCEL. Watch PKAZIP stay busy. Repeat as
necessary until tired of it. Reboot computer. 🙁 That was my first
experience with PKAZIP. I'd hit the gadget by accident, and I didn't have a
printer at the time. There was no way to get PKAZIP to stop the print
process, or abort altogether, short of rebooting. I was *not* pleased.
