Slow DOS Printing

Ever come across a dos program that prints slow over a network printer?  It takes forever because the dos program doesn't close the port so it doesn't start printing until the Windows 45 second timeout occurs.  To fix, do this:

in system.ini

[network]
PrintBufTime = 10

[IFSMGR]
PrintBufTime=10

if network or ifsmgr sections don't exist add the sections after 386enh section

You could just double-boot your system with MS-DOS 6.22 on the other partition...
