For SAMBA 2.0.6 this would require me to rewrite printing.c for an OpenVMS
specific version.  The existing SAMBA-VMS 2.0.3 does this to some degree.

To do this correctly, I would really want to update the printing routines in
IPC.C to fill in the values that VMS can provide.

However I have seen a number of CVS commits that the printing code is
changing in a way that may make implementing an OpenVMS specific version
easier.

I am hoping one those experts working on this area might know a more elegant
solution.
