SYMBIONT.ZIP
Description : two symbionts
The NULL symbiont does absolutely
nothing. It can be used for making a
blackhole queue (f.ex. if you want
SYS$PRINT to point to an existing queue,
but you do not want to see any print).
The SERVER symbiont tests, if the files
"language-type" matches that of the real
queue, and creates a new printjob on the
real queue with the same files. This
can be very smart in an environment with
both postscript and non-postscript
printers, because postscript output on a
non-postscript printer is a waste of
paper. Theese functions is controlled
via some logicals.
