No it is not the same as UNIX 4.2BSD.

You want filters not drivers.  A DVI filter comes with the TeX UNIX
distribution.  A general purpose LN03 filter is under /usr/lib/ln03of.
I assume you have version 1.2 of Ultrix-32*.

You can do a 'dcp' of the file to the proper printer on the VMS side,
for example:

		dcp filename vmsnode::lpb0:

or
		dcp -P filename vmsnode::filename
