I'll be interested in checking anything BSD/OS has for lpr, so that current BSD/OS users aren't "surprised" by too many unexpected changes if they decide to use FreeBSD. However, I don't understand what you mean about BSDi releasing lprNG. lprNG is not BSDi's to release, it's Patrick's (or maybe I should say, astart.com's, I'm not sure). Now, it is true that Patrick HAS recently added an artistic-style license option (which isn't quite the same as the berkeley-style license), so maybe that's what you're thinking of? Does BSD/OS has something which also happens to be called lprNG, but is unrelated to Patrick's? If not, Patrick is the only one who can change the licensing options. Or does BSD/OS just have some other alternative to the current lpr or lprNG? --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
