It seems as if the K-TERM from Kinetics doesn't support file-transfer and we have need to be to send Macintosh-generated postscript-files to our SUN-hosts as they are connected to the LaserWriter (a QMS). The ideal solution would be to program a LaserWriter-server on the SUN's and let them perform the spooling. Therefore: where should I look to find information on precisely how the the LaserWriter communicates with a Macintosh, in the "Inside LaserWriter"?. (that is: where is "AppleTalk Printer Access Protocol" documented ?) But still it would be nice to be able to transfer other types of files. Please mail me any pointers or ideas. -- Regards J|rgen N|rgaard e-mail: jnp@daimi.UUCP or ....{seismo!}mcvax!diku!daimi!jnp
