There are two ways that you can write a print symbiont on version 4.
You can either write one from scratch and use the routines provided
for communication with the job controller, or you can modify the
one that comes with the system by giving the symbiont the address
of routines that you want to call. In the second version, you can
substitute routines for starting a job, opening the file, input and
output filters, etc. You should be able to do practically anything.
