Oki4drv daemon 
==============

I've written a little Perl program which runs as a daemon and
eliminates some of the awkwardness of this driver.

Basically, you twiddle oki4daemon to know about the proper paths, then
run it.  It will background itself, then create and monitor a named
pipe called /dev/oki4drv (or whatever you told it).

Once oki4daemon is running, /dev/oki4drv accepts Postscript.  In LPD,
for example, you could set lp=/dev/oki4drv and be all set...


Option setting
--------------

You can prepend lines of the form

%FAKEOKI foo=bar

to the job to control the various options.  I've configured oki4drv in
Foomatic to know about these option values, so between this and
Foomatic, you can use oki4drv cleanly under CUPS, LPD, or PDQ.  Or at
least that's the theory ;)


Also included in this patch are fixes to oki4drv itself; it was not
invoking Ghostscript with -dSAFER, and it didn't call getopt properly
for its own -w (paperweight) option.
