     Release description:

     Axinstall has been totally rewritten to include support for a 
     number of new operating systems and print systems. A number of
     new features in modern print systems are now supported.
     
     All changes cannot be listed here, but here are some:

     *  Uninstallation of printers has been added for all types
        of systems.

     *  Installation of a 'standard' printer has been made easier.
        The printers now has default values for many options and
        these are only asked for if necessary.

     * The user interface has been improved.

     *  New supported systems:
        - SCO UnixWare 2.x
        - SCO UnixWare 7
        - SCO OpenServer
        - Linux systems
        - Sun Solaris 2.6 with new print system.

     *  Support for printer models and printer content type has
        been added for Solaris and HPUX.

     *  Support for printer types and data streams has been added 
        for AIX. 

     *  Kanji printers can now be installed in Solaris, HPUX and 
        AIX systems, using the support for printer models and types
        in these systems.

     *  Possibility to add a physical port instead of a logical port
        has been added. Observe that printing to physical ports 
        does not work for all protocols in older versions of the 
        print server firmware.

     *  Added support for gcc as compiler. A compiler is needed when
        PROSB or PROSA printers should be installed. Many UNIX systems 
        today does not include a compiler. gcc (GNU cc) is a free 
        compiler that can be used.

     *  Banner pages can now be suppressed when printing in SYSV 
        systems by the lp -o nobanner option.

     *  Added trace functionality for easier debug and support help.
        On some terminal types this feature does not work very well.

     Best regards
