It was written by Paul Glick and ran on both our Unix systems
and Plan 9.  He didn't want to support 2 different versions.
I agree that having it as a file system would have been a
lot nicer.  Since all our printers are on the net, we still would
have to deal with the network protocols but the interface would
be a lot nicer for programs, just open a file and write into it.

Any volunteers?
