- Actually, I find it encouraging. It means that the world won't
- standardize on either SysV *or* Berkeley print spooling, which means
- that there's room for someone to write something good. Lpr and
- company are a bitch for a large network, and I wouldn't even *try* to
- run lp on 300 machines. What's needed is a real batch system that
- scales to a large network (and please, Ghod, make it administerable by
- a mortal).
