Law Edition versions
only.
Up-to 32 process threads, for processing multiple
directory monitor tasks at once, e.g. if you setup

other to finish.

Can process up-to 64 printing threads per process,
for printing multiple files at once to any number of
printers. (this can be controlled per monitor and
thru-ought the print process) i.e. it can
produce upto 32 process threads, then upto 64 print
threads per monitored folder thread. ( 32x64 = 2048
threads max )
e.g. 2 folders monitored with 4 files in each will
