- Two questions:
-
- 1. Why didn't you expect the answer to come from HP rather than Dell?
- It seems that if you purchase pieces from two different sources you should
- expect to have difficulty with interface problems with possibly nowhere to
- turn. As has been pointed out, this is what VARS and dealers are for.
-
- 2. Where _is_ the behavior of postio and related programs documented?
- In our $1000 or so worth of SYSV documentation from NCR, AT&T and others
- I haven't found documentation. I ended up writing code from scratch to
- get a postscript printer to run across a network using a named pipe to
- capture the output of postio. A real kludge born of lack of documentation.
