Can anyone recommend a good plot spooler program that allows you to continue using ACAD while plotting. Thanx, Al Thompson

Yes! AutoPlot by the SoftWare Machine in Salt Lake City is excel ve three versions to choose from; ranging from minimal features to a package that will tell you what to do through the speaker (spoken prompts!). I don't have their address/phone with me right now but if you can't find it on your own, let me know. Mike Loescher p.s. typo: that was Software Machine

Alan, If you are running in a novell network environment and want to spool plots and also track time spent on projects and drawings, the best program out that I have seen is ACS Telecom EDMS 10-Cad. They are located in California and they sell the applications by the 6-pack. The spooler is great. They also have a single user version available for stand alone environments. Phone # 213-325-5055.

Sue, Thanx for your response. I do not run on a network at this time. I will look into this for a single user station. Thanx, Al Thompson

Al: CADalyst reviewed all the plot spoolers out there, but it's been a while. We'll be looking at the latest ones in the March '92 issue. Besides AutoPlot, which is an excellent program, my company sells two spoolers that have been around in various versions for a long time. PLUMP handles a single serial port. PLUMP-Rx does both serial and parallel and can run two devices concurrently if you wish. You can contact Eclipse Software/SSC Softsystems at (206) 676-6175. And if you have any questions, I'm usually here on the Forum several times a day. David
