- The Multinet symbiont seems to be fine for "simple" situations. However,
- many of our LAT print queues are already using a third-party symbiont
- (i.e., INIT/QUEUE/PROCESSOR=custom-symbiont-name). The Multinet solution
- requires that you use INIT/QUEUE/PROCESSOR=Multinet-symbiont. I have not
- come up with a way to resolve this conflict (i.e., you can only specify
- one symbiont with the /PROCESSOR switch). I have asked this question to
- comp.os.vms, and to Digital, and to TGV, but I have not come up with
- an acceptable solution. Any ideas?
