It is just a > filter, supposedly reading from stdin and writing to stdout... Yes and not. You can look into apsfilter for example. It gets from control file JOB, USER and HOST items in case of ASCII input printing. This information is used for "better" printing - ASCII input is converted into PostScript and some additional headers are added: "Printed by USER from HOST', "JOB name", date of printing and others. Why we should lose this feature? (But I don't know, if there is any other and better way how to fix this problem.) -- Rudolf Cejka (cejkar@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz; http://www.fee.vutbr.cz/~cejkar) Brno University of Technology, Faculty of El.
