It seems that the particular RS/6000 I used to examine this problem
(rosebud in the SIPB) is, to my surprise, running 7.3S system packs.
The 7.3S RS/6000 release is not yet in the public clusters, and Richard
has informed me that /usr/athena/bin/enscript is new to 7.3S, and is not
avaibable in 7.3R.
I apologize for any confusion which may have resulted. Until 7.3S is
available, you may use the '-d' flag; for example, to print the file
`file' to the printer `python' you would do the following:
athena% enscript -dpython filename
Unfortunately, '-d' does *not* work on the version of enscript running
on other other Athena platforms.
I have never personally encountered into this problem with enscript,
because I always either use '-pfilename.PS' to specify an output
filename, or '-p -' to put the standard output, and pipe it to lpr. My
next bug report might explain how I adopted this practice :-)
