Why not do something like lp5250d outputcommand='scs2ascii|myfilter' ???
This seems a whole lot simpler than the solution you're suggesting, and
its already implemented in lp5250d... Its also more consistent with the
UNIX way of thinking...
Of course, if you WANT to deal with the SCS datastream directly, you could
just say: lp5250d outputcommand='myfilter'
All of this was part of the design... or is there some added
functionality to your approach that I'm missing?
