SYMBIONT.ZIP Description : two symbionts The NULL symbiont does absolutely nothing. It can be used for making a blackhole queue (f.ex. if you want SYS$PRINT to point to an existing queue, but you do not want to see any print). The SERVER symbiont tests, if the files "language-type" matches that of the real queue, and creates a new printjob on the real queue with the same files. This can be very smart in an environment with both postscript and non-postscript printers, because postscript output on a non-postscript printer is a waste of paper. Theese functions is controlled via some logicals.
