Version 1.0
===========

	WPrint/WPrintd, plus WSpooler.rexx make up a simple network print
facility using Commodore's TCP/IP. This version requires socket.library.

	Willy Langeveld, 6 May 1992

Version WPrint 1.1/WPrintd 1.2
==============================

	WPrint and WPrintd now use ReadArgs(). WPrintd now is run by
inetd, so it should no longer be run in the startup sequence. The 
documentation was removed from this file and put into wprint.doc

	Willy Langeveld, 1 December 1992

Version WPrintd 1.3
===================

	WPrintd now uses the same sequence number as the new lpd server.
If wanted, one can use lpd and WPrintd in parallel. See the new Lpd
server.
	There are certain advantages to WPrint/WPrintd that warrant its
continued support. One of them is that on most UNIX systems it is a 
major hassle to set up a printcap entry and run a queue - it requires
root privilege, and the local GURU may not think it worth while. With
WPrint and the versions compiled for various other hosts, the connection
is direct and does not involve queues on the local machine.
	Also, wprint supports sending an option formfeed as well as
optional Fortran carriage control translation, which lpr typically
does not support.
	Finally, the new lpd is also fairly bare bones and doesn't
have any security built in - anyone on the net with an lpr can in
principle print on your Amiga given you install lpd. WPrint is not
generally available on UNIX systems, and therefore less of a problem.

Version WPrint 1.2/Wprintd 1.4
==============================

	WPrint now is somewhat more sophisticated. In addition to the
"OKAY" sequence, it now also supports the "OKWT" sequence (Okay-wait).
When received in reply to the first "checkremote", the okay-wait sequence
will cause WPrint to do another checkremote at the end of the transfer.
	WPrint also now prints out anything it receives more than the
first 4 characters.
	The above two points allow WPrint to receive error and status
messages from the host.
	WPrint no longer checks the destination for : or /. This is 
left to the server.
	WPrint now inserts a cr in front of every lf by default. Also
a -b option (already present in the VM version) was added - this turns
off the cr/lf conversion (on VM it also prohibits ebcdic-ascii
translation).

	WPrintd now checks for : and /, and replaces them with 0.

	There now exists a port of WPrintd for the VAX, to be used
with Multinet TCP/IP. The destination should be a valid set of options
for the VAX print command. This set of options is then appended to the
"print" string and executed using a "system" call.
