Uploaded Ed And Rlpr To Cacko Package Feed

[andrewmaier]

Hi,

I just uploaded two packages to the Cacko feed upload.

1. ed. ed is the classic Unix line editor. While proably nobody will use it as his/her main editor, it still is useful in scripts (Sources originally from www.gnu.org)

2. rlrp. Rlpr is an implementation of lpr the Unix line printer. It allows you to print to remote printers using the lpr protocol. In contrast to standard lpr you can print directly to a printer queue wihtout having to setup an /etc/printcap file. Thus you can do things like

Code: [Select]

rlpr -Pqueue@remote.printer.com myfile.txt.

Of course your printer has to understand the file format you are sending, as rlpr does not convert anything. Unfortunately, printing is not a strong point of the Z, but I just learnt that TextMaker, the wordprocessor, allows printing via lpr. So now with rlpr and TextMaker, you should be able to print out your documents.

If you want  to try them now, you can download them from my web page at www.andrew.maier.name/zaurus/
