HISTORY

       LPRng is a enhanced printer spooler system, with function-
       ality similar to the Berkeley LPR software, and is derived
       from  the PLP (Public Line Printer) software, version 4.0.
       LPRng has many advanced features, which are  described  in
       LPRng  -  An  Enhanced  Line  Printer  Spooler  by Patrick
       Powell, San Diego State University (papowell@sdsu.edu), et
       al.  It is available from dickory.sdsu.edu:/pub/LPRng.

       The  LPRng  software  is  based  on  PLP4.0, supported and
       extended by Justin Mason (jmason@iona.ie), which is avail-
       able  from  ftp://ftp.iona.ie/pub/PLP4.0.   Justin greatly
       aided in the design and development of many of  the  soft-
       ware  features,  as well as contributing a large number of
       bug fixes, design reviews, and other suggestions.
