Hi,

For the adventurous, I've hacked together my first attempt at a 5250
printing daemon.  This is a separate program called lp5250d, and is in
the CVS version of the code. Here is an example invocation:

lp5250d -s MMPRN01 -T "*HP4" -s "scs2ascii | lpr" myas400

If everything goes well, the program will put itself into the background,
and establish a printer session with the 400.  Notice that the host
transform is in quotes.  Otherwise bash interprets the *.

Once the major bugs have been worked out, I plan on removing the printing
functionality from the tn5250 program.
