Drain-Printer, SYSTEM_MGMT, Capture a print stream into a file

When OpenVMS is used as a print server, text printouts flow right through
on their way to an actual printer. There are times an electronic copy of
the printout would be useful. This program acts as a virtual printer and
captures the print stream into a text file instead of sending it to a
physical printer.

Drain-Printer is an expansion on an older program by Aaron Leonard; the first
copy I found was called  DRAIN_TO_FILE and was posted to comp.os.vms on
November 11, 1997 under "SUBJ: Re: Multinet LPD Queue to File?" (and also to
vmsnet.sysmgt on October 10, 1997).

Drain-Printer is written in C and was developed for the Multinet TCP/IP
package; it may require modifications to work with another stack; see
AAA_README.TXT, SETUP_DETAILS.TXT and the included source code for more
information and setup details.
