Date: 5 May 1994 22:00:15 +0200 Organization: Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Lines: 13 Message-ID: <rcpt.768167471@rwa.urc.tue.nl> NNTP-Posting-Host: rwa.urc.tue.nl X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #9 (NOV) We are moving from Ultrix (BSD) to SGI (SYS5). Because I am accustomed to Berkeley's lpd spooler and have some software written for it I am desperately looking for an implementation that is easy portable to that platform. What comes into mind is a POSIX implementation of lpd. Is there any? Or can't it be done at all? At least SGI's port of lpd is buggy and unreliable. --Piet internet: rcpt@urc.tue.nl __o Piet Tutelaers bitnet: rcpt@heitue5.BITNET _`\<,_ Computer Center Room RC 1.90 phone: +31 (0)40 474541 (_)/ (_) Eindhoven University of Technology fax: +31 (0)40 434438 Save nature P.O.
