- We have a program (written locally) that allows a queue to point to file
- rather than a device. For example, the queue
-
- $ sh queue/all file$print
- Terminal queue FILE$PRINT, stopped, on LURE::DSK2B:[OPER]FILE$PRINT.LIS,
- mounted form DEFAULT (stock=NORMAL)
-
- looks like a normal queue, except that output goes to the file
- FILE$PRINT.LIS.
