I'm on woof.mit.edu (like you couldn't guess) which says this in
/etc/athena/version:

Athena Workstation (SUN4m) Version 7.7B Wed Jun 22 11:51:35 EDT 1994


Now, the bug:  when I try and use enscript:

(1) there is no man page.  (Turns out there wasn't one on the suns in
7.6 either.  How come I never noticed?  Anyway, don't we have one?)

(2) It does not work, either.  The command:

	enscript -Php-test -r foobar

used to send the file "foobar" to the printer "hp-test" in landscape
mode.  I have verified that this does in fact work on a Sun running
7.6.  However, for me it says:

	enscript: illegal option -- P
	enscript: can't open font metrics file /usr/athena/lib/ps/CourBo.afm



Hope that's helpful,

Anne
