   A better question is; How should Hercules handle spool?

   How about a configuration option:
SPOOL c:\VM\SPOOL
or
SPOOL userid c:\VM\SPOOL

File names would be something like:

userid.rdr.a.nnnn

"userid" would be being any userid or lparname or cnslport
or something.

"rdr" would be rdr, prt, pun.

"a" would be the class

"nnnn" would be the spool file number

   Other qualifiers could be added like line count if wanted.

   How would we tell binary ( ipl ddr ) from text?  Use class?
Would text be converted to ascii?
