R4.0 of what? SunOS? Annex software from Encore? Transcript?

I embarressed to admit that shortly after I made my prior posting about
not being able to spool to a LaserWriter via an Annex serial port, it
occurred to me how in fact it might be done using a pty/tty pair.  Dumb
dumb dumb. I'm debugging now. If/when it works as well as I think it
should, I'll ship the filter off to Rich Salz for comp.unix.sources,
unless is obsolesced by something else sooner.
