I could do that. I currrently have about 90 minutes to burn. could you do a repository (why does that remind of suppository?) copy from a2ps to a2ps-whatever. I don't know if you want to do it twice to make a2ps-letter and a2ps-a4, or upper/lowercase, or do it once and rename the directory that's left behind, whatever, if they show up, I'll modify them to DTRT. I think you still want the options to accept upper/lowercase, but I can ditch the cookies. I didn't want to gratuitously raise the size of our ports behemoth, but you're the lead here, I'll happily take my cue from what I see show up. Of course, since I've been so incredibly absent, if David wants to do it, ok.
