Has anyone seen a public domain version of the UNIX lpd program as an implementation on a DOS PC which works together with packet drivers and/or PC/T CP from FTP Software ? Please send me a note. Many thanks in advance. Wolfgang Koehler (Koehler at AWIWUW11.BITNET) Computer Center University of Economics and Business Administration Vienna, Austria, Europe

An implementation written by Dave Johnson (dave@cs.olemiss.edu) is available, I believe, in beta release. It works with the Clarkson packet driver collection but is *not* public domain. At present I don't have a machine name from where it can be obtained via FTP but if you contact me I'll dig around for it. There is also an lpd server available from ogre.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.22.178) as part of tn3270iu.zip in directory ~/pub. I have not examined this; it is probably not public domain either. Also, I hear FTP Software markets an LPD server for DOS. While you do say "public domain", consider the value of support which comes with commercial products.
