	In addition to the responses summarized below, I had someone
point me to the NCSA Telnet sources on tacky.cs.olemiss.edu. I'm not
going to try that port yet...

	As indicated below, source for "System V-ized" lpr is allegedly
available for anonymous ftp on acm.rpi.edu, though I haven't been able
to reach the ftp server on this machine. If anyone knows where else this
code can be found, I'd love to know about it.

	I don't have a working solution yet, but I am just now getting
around to answering all the email I elicited. Thanks to all who
responded!

I have done some porting of the BSD TCP/IP code to Xenix/V 386,
which "claims" to be System V compatible.

I rather big one.  I made a couple of attempts at it and gave up.  
However, I did run across a SysV port of lpr on an anonymous ftp
site.  I don't remember the site offhand, but I still have the
package lying around.  I can make it available for anonymous ftp
if you like.

I have done this for 386/ix. If you would like the diffs, please let
me know!

A port has been done. It was announced recently by dlr at daver.bungi.com (Dave
Rand). I have copies of the diff files he provided.

We do it with the this kluge.  The following shell script is the
"interface" in the SysV spooler system.  You also have to create a file
to be the printer for the spooler destination; /dev/null doesn't seem
to work, so we have a file called DUMMY in a convenient location.
Actually the file is /usr/spool/lp/DUMMY.  The only problem is that
each user who wants to print has to have an account on the vax.  Here
is the script:

#
# lp interface for submission to the vax for reprinting.
#

copies=$4
shift; shift; shift; shift; shift
files="$*"
i=1
while [ $i -le $copies ]
do
	for file in $files
	do cat "$1" | /usr/ucb/rsh vax lpr -P lsiNTX
	done
	i=`expr $i + 1`
done
exit 0

Okay, I've made lpr available on clotho.acm.rpi.edu (128.113.10.204) in
~ftp/pub/lpr.tar.Z.  Enjoy!

about this code? jkc)

If you can wait a while for System V Release 4, there's a REAL easy way...
BSD compatibility and the BSD lp* utilities are BUILT INTO Release 4...
Contact your local Intel salesthing for details.

	I have ported the lp* BSD code to a SysV Stardent computer.  It was 
greatly facilitated by porting the BSD libraries.  I have not tried to do
the port to an SCO SysV/386 but I assume that without the libraries,
it would be EXTREMELY difficult.

 I don't know but, around here where we have similar problems, they bit the
bullet and wrote printer code for everything. All the systems can use "prt"
and the files are printer from VMS printer demons. The code, is howvere, a 
tad bit ugly.

 I think most of it is available via anonymous FTP.

I am looking for a port of the BSD lpd code for a ATT UNIX 386 PC.  I was
wondering if you had any answers about this??  I figure somebody must have
done it by now.

Thanks,
Sonya

I did it a while ago.  However, I could not overcome the inertia of
the company, and the Systems department never installed it.  As such
it has not been heavily tested, in particular, I do not guarantee that
all commands even work (I gave up to early), but I was able to submit
jobs over the net.  I also never got to the stage of investigating what
filters I needed, or how to set them up.  You are welcome to the code
if you want it.

I was porting to ISC 386/ix 1.0.6, using ISC's version of TCP.  You can
be sure some of the include files will be in different places, although
things should indeed work.

I defined a compat.h and a compat.c.  Lots of defines, and where necessary
I snaged BSD subroutines and stuffed them in compat.c.  I also wrote SYSV
emulations of flock, truncate and the like.

It has already been done.  I have the patches and I can send them to you
if you haven't already found a solution.
