:the file you want to print, instead of copying the file into
:...
:has not changed, if the standard st_dev+st_ino check is not
:going to work? Seems to me I should be checking something,
:instead of just ignoring the issue for NFS mounts (*all*
:NFS mounts, because I can't tell if the NFS server is AIX).
