1.1       root        1:                README for the Apsend and Apstat Commands
                      2: 
                      3:                                APSEND
                      4: 
                      5: Apsend is a command that send device-independent troff output from the
                      6: user's 'home' UNIX system to the dedicated UNIX driving the APS-5
                      7: phototypesetter.
                      8: 
                      9: Take the following steps to prepare apsend for your system.
                     10: 
                     11: 1) Compile the file apsend.mkhd.c (which uses the file apsend.h).
                     12: 
                     13: 2) Move the a.out file to apsend.mkhd.
                     14: 
                     15: 3) Check the following shell variables in the apsend command and change if
                     16: necessary: NODE, MKHEAD, FNTABLES, NETWORK.
                     17: 
                     18:        NODE - use '`uname -n`' or the actual system nodename
                     19: 
                     20:        MKHEAD - use 'apsend.mkhd' (if apsend and apsend.mkhd will reside in
                     21:           the same directory); otherwise use full pathname of apsend.mkhd
                     22: 
                     23:        FNTABLES - use '/usr/lib/font' or the actual pathname of the troff font

                     29:                use 'uucp1' for those systems selecting uucp network - AND uucp
                     30:                BY DEFAULT copies source files to the spool directory. (Note:
                     31:                'uucp -C' is usually illegal on these systems.)
                     32: 
                     33:                use 'uucp2' for those systems selecting uucp network - AND uucp
                     34:                does NOT by default copy source files to the spool directory
                     35:                (invokes '-C' option of uucp)
                     36: 
                     37:                use 'usend' for those systems selecting usend network;
                     38:                must also have the entry 'mhuxm mhuxv  /usr/asp/unpackm'
                     39:                in /usr/asp/udest
                     40:

                     42:                have NSC link to MHCC dedicated UNIX)
                     43: 
                     44: 4) Be sure to leave a blank line as the first line of the apsend shell script.

                     52: 
                     53: The apstat command sends a request for the current status of apsend jobs
                     54: (both APS-5 and imagen) to the dedicated UNIX driving both devices.  The
                     55: UNIX acknowledges the status requests via UNIX mail, prepending a brief
                     56: bulletin indicating unusual turnaround conditions, if such exist. The reply
                     57: is sent to the <system>!<login> of the apstat submitter.

                     70:        REMOTEX - set value to '1' to request status via remote execution
                     71:          of aps.status command; set value to '0' to request status without
