A while back BSD style "lpr" for IRIS 4D was discussed.
I want to be able to remote print to BSD VAX. Will this
"lpr" for IRIS 4D do this? If so, is there somewhere I can
get it by way of "ftp?"

I'm not sure if it will come as a standard part of the release (it does after all essentially duplicate much of the functionality of the existing IRIX spooler system), but if not it will certainly be available as an option. I believe there may be some non-SGI ports of lpr around, but I don't know where they are or how good they are; for example, do they understand SGI executable & archive file formats? do they do the tty settings correctly?...
