The program I wrote is basically a daemon that runs on a machine, where
a single printer queue is monitored, and jobs received are queued up
and either printed on free printers, or held until a printer becomes
available.  Now that midterms are over, and my year is underway here,
I have some time to ask these people to test this software for me.
Right now it only runs under BSD and SunOS, but I don't think it would
take too much to modify it for System V.  It's pretty well commented,
and the idea is straightforward.

What I wanted to know was:  Are people interested in programs like
this?  Are they beneficial to users?  What other things would you like
to see that work similar to this?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I received requests for this program from the following people.


kjj@phx.mcd.mot.com 
davison@menudo.uh.edu
matthew@ooc.uva.nl 
nieters@crd.ge.com 
art@dinorah.wustl.edu
nash@ucselx.sdsu.edu 
charleen@ads.com 
wls@csd4.csd.uwm.edu
nowicki@Legato.COM

I'm going to try to mail the program to these people on Friday, and
then wait for their responses.  If all goes well, hopefully I can
post this to the network.

Thanks for the help, everyone, and I will continue to read this newsgroup
with continued interest.
