When we started moving from Dec-10 to VAX-cluster, we kept the old remote printers on the Dec-10 as long as the users needed it there. But, migrating, the users needed to send prints to the same printer even from the VAXen. We implemented queues on the cluster, passing the prints via Decnet to Dec-10, where the prints were resubmitted for printing. The code used is available to the net (at your own risk). * Spool code for VAX (PASCAL) * Spool code for Dec-10 (MACRO-10) A device-resetting string is used as a print separator. Restrictions: If VAX queues are setup with BURST or TRAILERs, the Dec-10 code will not recognize the print separator. In this case the Dec-10 code uses a 2-minute timeout to decide end-of-print. The code is just a couple of hundred lines, and can be passed by mail. Tore Haraldsen University of Oslo Central Computing Facility Norway

I would much appreciate a copy of your VMS-DEC10 spooler software. -------
