An 8 bit LPR + source is available for the Waterloo TCP LPR command.  It lacks
some of the CUTCP LPR options, but you can easily add such features and share
back the source enhancements.

Some other applications included in the distribution may interest you
such as the TCPPORT (like TNGLASS) which let's you user KERMIT or other
COM port packages for TELNETs.  I believe KERMIT is more flexible with
international character sets.

To get the compiled network programs and documentation: anonymous ftp
to sunee.uwaterloo.ca [129.97.128.196] and get pub/wattcp/apps.zip.
Source needed to build LPR and other applications is in src.zip.  The
tcp kernal source, although not necessary, is located in other zip files
in the subdirectory.
