     NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
	  ripsock - drive a PostScript rip via a TCP/IP	socket

     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  /usr/etc/appletalk/ripsock [ -D ] [ -h hostname ] [ -p port
	  ] [ -s servicename ] [ -w waittime ]

     DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  The ripsock program accepts data from	stdin and sends	it to
	  the specified	TCP/IP socket.	Its purpose is to send the
	  output of a spooler to a RIP that accepts data that way
	  without ever hitting disk.   This filter is designed to be
	  called from a	"Custom" print queue. The flags	are defined as
	  follows:

	  -h   specifies the host to send the job to.  The default is
	       the local host.

	  -s   defines the name	of the service (as specified in
	       /etc/services) to be used.  Defaults to "dps".  If a
	       port is specified, the service name is ignored.

	  -p   defines the port	number of the service.

	  -w   supplies	the time in seconds to wait after sending the
	       data to the RIP for feedback from it.  The default is
	       15.

	  -D   turns on	debugging about	sending	data.
