tlw.c - Talks to LaserWriter "Interactive Executive"

with appleshare servers

You can get a basic idea of what some of these programs do by reading the
"man" pages in ../man:
CAP.8: overview
atis.8: atistest
atprint.1: lwpr, lsrv, isrv, tlw
atlook.1: atlook, atlooklws, atpinger
atistest is for verification in the installation procedure.
General notes:
tlw, lwpr, iwpr now have a settable "Send Flow Quantum multiplier"
called SFLOWQ that tells them how many pkts they can send in a single
write. You should set this to 1 if you have problems with the
FastPath or LaserWriter dropping packets. By default, it is set to 8
(the maximum). Setting fastether in m4.setup sets it to 1.
lwpr makes use of /etc/cap.printers. This really isn't necessary, but
it's nice.
