Actually, I find it encouraging. It means that the world won't standardize on either SysV *or* Berkeley print spooling, which means that there's room for someone to write something good. Lpr and company are a bitch for a large network, and I wouldn't even *try* to run lp on 300 machines. What's needed is a real batch system that scales to a large network (and please, Ghod, make it administerable by a mortal). -- J Greely (jgreely@cis.ohio-state.edu; osu-cis!jgreely) Volume-Number: Volume 20, Number 112
