I have got a SEAgate box running with Cap D2 (with patches 1,2 &3).
I have used the printer spooler successfully for a few weeks. I think CAP
is a very nice piece of work, and of course the original seagate 
design is a very good base.

As the patches for the gw-code was for the Kinetics-UDP-gw I modified the
(seagate/croft) gw to be enuf similar to Kinetics to be able to apply the 
gw.patch[125]. I think it would be very nice if the seagate/kinetics udp-gw 
users could cooperate so that the (seagate) version could be more similar to 
the Kinetics. Of course my changes are available as a start if no one else 
already hasn't done it. (the changes are simple, like 
"#define K_PGET(x) p_get(x)", "#define ifie ifil", some reformatting etc)

A minor thing in CAP: To get spooling to work on an appletalk with 2 
LaserWriters I had to modify papif so that it looked on argv[0], and in printcap
use a symlink (to papif) with the name of the printer the as the input filter.
This is because our (4.2) lpd doesn't have a -p(rinter) switch to the input
filter.

----
Hopefully I will install CAP D2.01 soon, if I can get it here... (life IS hard 
when you aren't on the ARPAnet). Then I'm going to buy (at least) two Kinetics 
boxes to be able to interconnect our other AppleTalks.
