I received over 100 request for prt within 24 hours of posting the above
article. I can't mail to everyone for obvious reasons and if I post it
to comp.sources.unix, it might take up to 1 month before Rich Salze can
release it (Rich has a very busy schedule).

I can do any of the following:

	- Make it available via anonymous uucp
	- Post it to comp.graphics
	- I don't have ftp access, but if some who does can make it available
	  for anonymous ftp, I can mail them a copy. (If you are interested
	  in archiving prt for anonymous ftp access, please let me know).

Posting to comp.graphics would be the fastest way, but I have a funny
feeling it will piss off some of the net gurus.

Either way, I need to beef up the documentation before I release it. I hope
to send it out by the end of the week.

And lastly, I will be upgrading the OS on my mail gateway over the weekend and
I expect to have some minor e-mail glitches. If you send me mail and it 
bounces, please try again.

Anyway, let me know.

Thanks,
--kory
