10. UPGRADE SUGGESTIONS

	This release is _not_ compatible with previous versions of apsfilter!

	You have to backup your current apsfilter installation directory
	(recommended) and rebuild your /etc/printcap file with SETUP.

	If you have problems with apsfilter and "traditional Berkeley
	line printer scheduler" (lpd) you should give LPRng a try.
	LPRng is compatible to BSD-style printer spoolers and offers
	more functionality as well as security features.

11. DONATIONS / SPONSORS

	- Apsfilter requires funds to operate due to hardware upgrade
	  issues everyone experiences and other issues that might come up.

	  Other projects sell CDROMs, but this isn't an option for apsfilter,
	  since nobody would buy a CDROM with less then 1 MB software on it. 

	  So if you like to make hardware or money donations, feel free to
	  send me a cheque or hardware.

	  Please contact me via e-mail to get conto or postal address. 

	  I return I will put you onto our official list of Apsfilter Sponsors.
