Has anyone gotten CAP 6.0 to work (AIX 3.1.5)?

I don't know what your doing wrong but we've been using CAP from 3.1.1 to
3.1.4 and I see no reason why it will stop working for 3.1.5 .  I ported
CAP originally with very few changes and the next version supported
RS6000 boxes anyway.  Sounds like your using the wrong flags to
cc or something.

in qconfig
----------
* Laser Writer on level 3
cs_ps:
	up = TRUE
	device = dcs_ps
dcs_ps:
	backend = /usr/local/lpd/dcsps3

dcsps3
------
#!/bin/sh
cat $* | /usr/new/cap/papif -P cslw

We also use this solution for our printers hanging off of a terminal server.
The only difference id the utility used to communicate ( aprint instead of 
papif , aprint is supplied with Annex TS)

Hope this helps somewhat , if only so that you don't condem the package
unjustly.
