Subject: Printing on Mac

Hi, Pine Experts:

Some of my Mac users use NCSA telnet to login to the ultrix system to use
pine.  But they can't print their messages.  I have tried to add the line
"capfile=PRN"  to the config.tel according to the Technical Notes.  It
didn't work. 

It also said on the Note to use a utility called ansiprt to get printout. 
It didn't say exactly how.  By wild guess, I compile the ansiprt.c and use
ansiprt.o to replace the printe command on the setup number 3. It didn't 
work either.

Could anybody tell me how to make it work?  Any help would be greately 
appreciated!!

I had asked questions in this group before, and got a lot of helpful 
responses.  I just want to say thank to all of you.

Sharon,
I'm not sure that even the latest standard NCSA telnet correctly supports
ANSI escape sequences for printing, but there is a UW-modified version (2.5)
available on ftp.cac.washington.edu in /ncsa/mac/beta/Telnet2.5W-B3.bin

You don't need ansiprt for normal ascii printing, just use the built-in
"attached-to-ansi" option, but it is handy if you want to setup a custom
printing pipeline such as "enscript | ansiprt" for dealing with postscript
attachments.
