This submission consists of files needed to manage large numbers of DECserver-based print queues. It is part of a talk given at Spring DECUS, 1989 entitled "Management of DECserver-based Printer Queues". The handout from the talk is included. It also contains a bunch of .TXT files containing escape sequences for various devices, especially the LN03 printer. The files included are: SETUP_LAT_DEVICES.COM This command file reads the definition file LAT_PRINTERS.DEF, and defines all the queues and LAT ports. See SETUP_LAT_DEVICES.DOC and SETUP_LAT_DEVUICES.OVERHEADs for further information. Some user editting might be needed in the RESET sequences in the queue initialization commands; and in the SET TERMINAL settings. CHECK_QUEUE.COM This command file checks all aspects of a DECserver based queue. In particular, it goes out to the DECserver and verifies that its name and port are setup properly. It REQUIRES that TSM (Terminal Server Manager) be installed. MAINT.COM This command file maintains the entries in SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB. As of VMS V5.2, the infamous 'library already open' bug is still in LATSYM. Do a SHOW DEVICE/FILE/NOSYSTEM SYS$SYSDEVICE: and you'll see that the symbiont(s) all have the library open. Hence, you can't touch it. To make changes, you'll have to STOP/NEXT each queue, use @MAINT, then START the queues. I've also included all of my setup escape sequences. The names should be self-explanatory. The ones which might be confusing are: LN03_80COL_PORTRAIT_3HOLE.TXT LN03_132COL_LANDSCAPE_3HOLE.TXT These leave room for a 3-hole punch. LN03_200_80.TXT Used for landscape printing at 200 characters by 80 lines. This is about as tight as can be, and still be readable. LN03_BOX.TXT Draws a box around the page. LN03_TCS_LANDSCAPE.TXT LN03_TCS_PORTRAIT.TXT Used for documents containing Technical Characters.
