LPRng/PLP ARCHIVE README
------------------------

Welcome to the LPRng/PLP archive! This archive is mirrored at the
following sites:

    ftp://ftp.iona.com/pub/plp               (main site, but slooow)
    ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/utils/plp
    ftp://ftp.beckman.uiuc.edu/pub/plp
    ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/plp
    ftp://ftp.zod.wau.nl/pub/mirror/plp
    ftp://ftp.lps.ens.fr/pub/software/plp
    ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/unix/printer/plp

The current version of PLP is stable, and beats most BSD-derived
lpd/lpr systems any day of the week. However, it's no longer under
active development or support, and for a stable, portable, and
much-enhanced version of the LPR subsystem, you should probably use
LPRng instead (see below).  That said, if you want to give PLP a go,
see PLP/README for more details.

Patrick Powell's LPRng software, which is a complete rewrite of PLP
with much new functionality, is available here in the "LPRng"
subdirectory.  This is mirrored nightly from its home site
(ftp://dickory.sdsu.edu/pub/LPRng).

There's a mailing list for discussion, patches, and ideas for PLP and
LPRng. Send a "subscribe" message to <lprng-request@iona.com> to join up.

If you want to browse past messages to the mailing list, there's an
archive of past messages from this list in the file "mail-archive"; and
older messages are kept in the "mail" subdirectory. There's also a full
hypermail archive of the LPRNG mailing list
<a href=http://www.iona.com:8000/www/mail/plp> here</a>.

There's some programs that have proved useful to myself and/or other
PLP/LPRng/LPR users, in the "contrib" subdirectory.
