[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] LPD for PCs under MSDOS

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a LPD (not lpr|) implementation that runs on a PC
under MSDOS. If anybody out there knows of such a program (pd/shareware)
please drop me a line - you will save me from a lot of trouble.

Thanks very much in advance,

This begins to be a new candidate for the 'frequently asked
questions' department :-), so here we go again:

A beta test version of a freeware LPD for MSDOS can be found in the
ftp-archive at tacky.cs.olemiss.edu in directory pub/lpd.
It uses some version of Clarkson or NCSA libraries and workes quite well
in some first tests here. Besides the LPD part there is also a FTP
and a BOOTP server included, which we also find very useful.
And not unimportant: full source available.
