XPopup Overview
To setup a Windows 95, 98/Me, or NT/2000 workstation on the network requiring
XPopup support, it will be necessary to run XPopup.exe on each workstation where
this feature is required. This popup allows the user to input additional information
before printing will occur. This additional information is then logged. When a print job
is submitted, XCounter pauses the job until the user enters the information, and then
releases it.
