This update corrects a couple of problems and adds no new features.

1. An incoming FTP session may issue a CD causing bootpd to lose track
   of the bootptab file.

2. The maximum UN*X issued file name was set at 25 causing problems at
   many different sites.  The new maximum is 256.

If you have had problems with files being received but nothing
printed, please try this new version and let me know if you still have
problems.

Serial port support:
	No one has ever repaired the COM support in LPD, however, one
user wrote to me about a program available at wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
that allows LPT1: (and maybe others) to be redirected to COM ports.
It also adds XON/XOFF support.  The file is
PD1:<msdos.printer>lptcom02.arc (spelling may not be correct).

LPD 1.5 is available only in executable form on tacky as LPD15.exe in
the pub/lpd directory.

Also, if you need the updated Clarkson files to compile the LPD
source, they are located in the same directory in the file
cumods.tar.Z.
