)I never saw Geoff's article, but I do have an idea for an extension to
)pcnfsd, regarding the use by PC-NFS users of all possible options of the
)lpr-command when mounting or using a printer.
)
)It would be nice if one could say something like:
)NET USE LPT1: \\HOST\lp-p-m
)which would have the effect of pcnfsd issuing the command:
)lpr -Plp -p -m filename.

And it would be extremely nice if SUN distributed not only a SunOS/BSD
compatible rpc.pcnfsd.c, but also one compatible with System V, i.e.
one which calls lp instead of lpr. Then one could make such changes
oneself, even if one's printer host was running System V.
