There have been numerous changes to the core npadmin code in the past couple 
of months. I expect that there will be some problems porting the multithreaded
code. One knob that might need to be turned is the define MAXTHREADS in 
npadmin.C. On linux I can get away with something like 100 threads, however 
I think other OS's might find that excessive. Please let me know what works
on your platform.

Problem firmware:
-----------------
As I have worked to create npadmin, I have found many problems with
the differen't printer's firmware. Here is my current list of firmware 
problems:

Tektronix Phaser Share 2.0:
---------------------------
This firmware has numerous problems and I recommend contacting
Tektronix and upgrading to their current version, i.e. 3.13. I believe 
that they will provide you with this upgrade free of charge. 

HP JetDirect A03.16 and below:
-----------------------------
This has at least one problem where trying to check the memory doesn't 
return anything. Upgrade to their current version A05.05 to fix these
problems.

HP JetDirect A05.05
-------------------
This firmware has two serious problems --languages crashes all known
5M's and --protocols or --languages crashes 5 series printers with
formwatter datecodes less than 19960829. There is currently no known
fix.
