Stampede hasn't released a CD yet, as ther are just now putting out v
0.89 of their distribution.  They have NFS installs available though, so
it shouldn't be too hard to get your hands on a copy.  Look them up at:

When setting up my Locker and other NetWare servers, I have to pass a -b
option to force a "bindery."  (Something to dow with the DNS system the
server uses, I think) I have no idea what that is.  nprint tells me to
use a binary as well, but doesn't give me a command line option to
create one (as far as I can tell).  Am I using an older version of
ncptools or is ther some other problem?
