Date    Version Changes

04/97   1.09    Rewrote the complete (old) printop to work together with
               LPRng as printing system. It now does not work with the
               standard bsd lpr any more, just LPRng. And now it supports
               it's features (hold/release jobs, display generic queues,
               etc).

07/97   1.10a   Added radiobuttons to show all queues or just busy ones Bug
               fixed in parsing of "lpc status all" (checking for 3rd item)
               printop_path: printop now finds the path to its directory
               itself removed unnecessary relicts of old version

08/97   1.11a   Now the menu to choose a queue is in the main window, the
               "Single-Queue" window is now just for a single queue, not
               for choosing the queue. And some changes to the procedures
               that are building the menu.

11/97   1.11b   Changes by Markus Fleck, <[email protected]>:

               Detected some bugs:
               - text font specification missing in bottommost "queue"
                 listbox
               - buttons "Disable printing", "Choose Queue" were only 13
                 characters wide
               - "tkwait" caused problems if window was killed or recreated
                 too soon, removed
               - configured printers menu incorrectly opened queue selected
                 in listbox (missing "selection clear")
               - "lpc restart" -> "lpc kill" (LPRng!)
               - "intervall" -> "interval" (also changed in README file)

               Performance/usability issues:
               - removed unnecessary calls to "update" and "tkwait visibility"
               - display wristwatch cursor during exec
               - display name of current queue in window title
               - now re-uses detailed queue window (keeps window geometry
                 when switching to a different queue)
               - added "Restart Daemon" button to main window ("proc
                 RestartQueue" was already there - unused!)
               - restore selection in queue window whenever
                 "ListQueueRefresh" is called
               - added legends for "Jobs in Queue" and "LPC status"
                 listboxes in single-queue window
               - drop leading spaces in legends to force it to start in
                 first column
               - added "Choose Queue" menu to single-queue view to finally
                 make button bars the same for both windows
               - changed "Move Job" button into a menubutton where user can
                 select printers
               - made long "-ll" queue status output the default for confLPQ

               Enhancements:
               - tk_StrictMotif configurable (added in README)
               - do_confirm configurable (added in README)
               - make font and button width configurable (added in README)

               Changed GUI appearance:
               - changed button height from 2 to 1
               - commented out fixed window geometry settings
               - made listboxes 80 characters wide, made height
                 requirements more "useful"
               - re-"normalized" widgets to conform to (more-or-less)
                 standard looks
               - changed version number to 1.11b
               - renamed "Entry"/"Entries" to "Job"/"Jobs"

12/97   1.12    Integrated the changes of Markus Fleck.
               - moved all the commands for the queue (stop, enable, etc)
                 into a menu. More than ten buttons is too much.
               - inserted a frame under the menu to make the window
                 appear in a reasonable size.

TO DO:          - drag/drop jobs to move to a different queue?
               - offer "context menus" by clicking right mouse button
               - use menu bar instead of buttons? (partly done)
