Berkeley, California-based Xinet Inc has released enhancements to its K-Spool, K-AShare and K-Talk Unix-to-Macintosh communications software. K-Spool is a Unix application that enables users of Apple Computer Inc Macintosh and Unix systems to share PostScript printers – it acts as a print server and PostScript filter. Version 7 includes support for Level 2 PostScript functions, comes with a K-Spool monitor that provides information about job status and the ability to cancel queued jobs, and supplies an ASCII-to-PostScript translator for Unix users. K-AShare is an Advanced Function Printing-compatible file server for Unix hosts. It enables a Unix host to act as an AppleShare server for Macintosh users. New features include support for networks without the need for routers, a revised application programming interface, network monitoring and new Sun 4/Sparc loadable drivers, which do not require kernel reconfiguration.
