Due to changes in the way `ms' and `format' work, you will now get your
prompt back much sooner when you send your printout to the line printer,
Sanders printer or laser printer.  However, getting your prompt back
NO LONGER MEANS THAT YOUR PRINTOUT HAS STARTED.  You will receive mail
when your printout has FINISHED.

Those who have used `nohup' with `ms' or `format' need no longer do so,
since you will get your prompt back quickly anyway.  If you have not
used `nohup', then you needn't do anything differently.
