     You can use NBSpool to read input spoolfiles. Just run NBSpool then
     enter input mode by typing "I" . Text the Input spoolfile using the
     job number or any other valid NBSpool subset.

     example:
     BUGS:showjob job=@j;wait

     JOBNUM  STATE IPRI JIN  JLIST    INTRODUCED  JOB NAME

     #J190   WAIT   D 1  10S LP       TUE  8:51A  TEST,MGR.NETBASE

     JOBFENCE= 1; JLIMIT= 5; SLIMIT= 24

     BUGS:nbspool.pub.netbase
     NetBase Spooling Utility  [0.9.7]  Update 0f  Copyright 1988 QUEST

     O> i
     I> t j190
     Opened spool file #I7 ($STDIN), last line is 3.
     I> l al
     J :JOB TEST,MGR.NETBASE,PUB;PRI=DS;OUTCLASS=LP,8;INPRI=1
     0 :comment this is just a test job
     1 :file stu;dev=lp,1
     2 :listf @,2;*stu
     3 :eoj

   Hope it helps

   I seem to recall a contributed utility back on the classics that
   would
   allow you to read the contents of input spoolfiles.  Does that utility exist
   for the PA-RISC machines and is there any way to get it other then the
   contributed library tape?  I am an Interex member, but only an associate.
