Subject:	Linux lpr under DJGPP?
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

When using the Linux side of my computer, I appreciate very much that
the "lpr" command is able to print PostScrip^t files (*.ps) and even
gzippes PostScript files (*.ps.gz) nearly on any non-PostScript printer,
such as Laserjets.

Obviously, lpr/lp recognize the .ps and the .ps.gz suffixes and submit
the files to GhostScript so that finally the output is fit for any
printer (PCL speaking of bitmaps, whatever).

Question: althog I can prepare my *.ps.gz under DOS and reboot to Linux
to print them, I would appreciate doing that direcly under DOS, thus
avoiding a reboot.

 -> is there a port of lpr/lp for DJGPP, using either a port of
GhostScript, or calling the Aladdin release I have under windows?
