The program I wrote is basically a daemon that runs on a machine, where a single printer queue is monitored, and jobs received are queued up and either printed on free printers, or held until a printer becomes available. Now that midterms are over, and my year is underway here, I have some time to ask these people to test this software for me. Right now it only runs under BSD and SunOS, but I don't think it would take too much to modify it for System V. It's pretty well commented, and the idea is straightforward. What I wanted to know was: Are people interested in programs like this? Are they beneficial to users? What other things would you like to see that work similar to this? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I received requests for this program from the following people. kjj@phx.mcd.mot.com davison@menudo.uh.edu matthew@ooc.uva.nl nieters@crd.ge.com art@dinorah.wustl.edu nash@ucselx.sdsu.edu charleen@ads.com wls@csd4.csd.uwm.edu nowicki@Legato.COM I'm going to try to mail the program to these people on Friday, and then wait for their responses. If all goes well, hopefully I can post this to the network. Thanks for the help, everyone, and I will continue to read this newsgroup with continued interest. --Matt Matt D.
