Update to this snap is highly recommended.

--------------------------------
Here are some small changes to the duplex code, more class stuff
and several minor tweaks:
* duplex printing:
- "forced simplex" mode was totally fscked up
(infinite loop _and_ wrong print command)
- use psselect _or_ pstops to extract odd/even pages
- one less temporary file
* new function send_mail for duplex and failure messages
* DVIPS_REVERSE and ACROREAD_REVERSE are gone; PS_UTILS
should be used to correct _all_ file formats
* new class options:
- a3,a4,letter,legal,ledger (paper size)
- a2ps,mpage,recode (ASCII filter)
- 1pps,2pps,4pps,8pps (pages per sheet)
- border,noborder,header,noheader (ASCII style)
- landscape (force orientation for ASCII and DVI)
- simplex (force non-duplex mode)
- color,mono (color handling)
* FAQ update
* slight manpage fixes
* Makefile fixes
* small cosmetic changes here and there
changes from me:
----------------
* SETUP: A -> abort, I -> install a printer, Q finish installation
I think quit is the usual leave operation
* hint for FreeBSD ports collection, not to install manpages
* SETUP, apsfilter: Change my mail address to andreas@apsfilter.org
* SETUP: make more clear how to restart the lineprinter scheduler
* SETUP: install_man_pages:
- document 'default' to not install manpages when simply
hitting RETURN, ie. when installing from FreeBSD ports
collection
- its not clear if FreeBSD user used ports collection or
not, so ask if manual pages should be installed or not
* SETUP: save 2 seconds sleep by combining a message
* FAQ, use the SGML based version
Changes to the FAQ should directly be made to the doc tree !
* TODO: remove resolved items, update some ITEMS and one new.
PREFIX/include/stdio.h is just too dangerous as one can too easily get it
when they don't want it. Also Sendmail 8.11 (building with STARTTLS)
expects to find the header "sfio/sfio.h".

Note you _CANNOT_ use ${SED} and ${AWK} in "!=" lines. I wish people would
STOP running `portlint' on this Makefile and blindly accpeting its output w/o
understanding it. To quote Henry Spencer:
I Thou shalt run lint frequently and study its pronouncements with
care, for verily its perception and judgement oft exceed thine.
..snip..
``Study'' doth not mean mindless zeal to eradicate every byte of lint
output--if for no other reason, because thou just canst not shut it
up about some things--but that thou should know the cause of its
unhappiness and understand what worrisome sign it tries to speak of.

machine). So here now some bugfixes to make SETUP work again !
* SETUP: fix permissions of $SPOOLDIR
700 was to restrictive for BSD.
TODO: "clone" permissions of $SPOOL
* SETUP: bugfix: BSD needs /usr/sbin in PATH to find chown.
added /sbin as well, since this is unexpensive and possibly
needed for other systems.
* SETUP: cosmetic, reformat menues to still fit within 25 lines
* SETUP: fix: grep -c needs an argument (".") in echo "\c" | grep -c .
to work on FreeBSD and possibly other BSDs with GNU grep 2.4
