Maybe I am missing something here, but, doesn't the above program
just add a null pipe element?  In other words, if the above program
is called lpr, I don't understand how "cat file | lpr > LPT" is an
improvement over "cat file > LPT".  Was the intent that more would
be added to the program ("season to taste")?
