Lines: 23 Nntp-Posting-Host: golem.ps.uci.edu In-reply-to: gt1111a@prism.gatech.EDU's message of 21 May 91 03:43:19 GMT Just to clear up some misinfo: 1)lpr can be run under HP-UX (I did under HP-UX 6.5). lp under > 7.0 is functionally equivalent and I no longer use lpr (there is an lpr-script thought which does the appropriate substitutions). I also understand that from 8.0 onwards lp will have lots of new features. 2) According to posts on comp.sys.hp recursive chown and chgrpare implemented in HP-UX 8.0. My experience with the HP-responseline was very good; and the local SE helped me in the one or two occasions I messed things up. On another note VUE/Motif vs NextStep: at leas the first can be repaired; My NextStep screen is still gray -- I have to use the NeXT in console mode. (Maybe the lack of response from NeXT to my pleas for help is tinting my opinion ...). Greetings, Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.
