Description gad 2000-05-05 02:40:01 UTC 
At http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html#CVSUP
   the list of tags should include the tags for 4.0-release,
   and tag=RELENG_4 .  It should also probably describe 4
   as "freebsd-stable", not 3.

At http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/printing-lpd-alternatives.html
   the web site URL for lprNG is listed as
       ftp://dickory.sdsu.edu/pub/LPRng/
   it should be changed to:
       http://www.astart.com/lprng/LPRng.html

Also, I think that PLP is completely gone, or at least the links to
   it on that web page are no longer valid.  I sent a message to
   someone who seems to be the last person to have worked on it,
   to find out for sure.

And last but not least,
At http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/contrib-additional.html
   I (me, garance) am listed as 'gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu'.  The 'its'
   changed to 'acs', so it should be 'gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu'.  The
   'its' address still works, but it's a cname to the 'acs' hostname
   and it will disappear at some point.

I heard back from Justin Mason, who used to do some work on PLP.
He says that no one has worked on it in years, and it is definitely
a dead project (superceded by LPRng), so we should remove any
references to it in favor of LPRng.
