If all you want is a look alike lpr. Hp provides a script file in /usr/bin/lpr that makes lp look like lpr. However, HP left the #!/bin/sh off the top so you need to add it back if you use a better shell like tcsh. Why does HP leave out the #! at the top of there scripts? So they break if you use another shell. Part of the idea of unix is that you can use the shell that fits your needs. later jco -- "BSD the strongest Operating System avaible today without a prescription." John C.

The subject heading says it. Anyone know where I can find a version of lpr already ported to HP-UX? Thanks. -- --alex alex@opal.idbsu.edu Boise State University doesn't have any opinions. Therefore, these are not the opinions of Boise State University.

because hp-ux is System V, not BSD
hp-ux includes a large number of BSDisms (where they don't interfere
with sys5; support for "#!" is an example) but is NOT the focus.
a number of people have mistaken it for a BSD implementation
