RESTRICTIONS
The vman script uses eroff as the print formatter. If your system does not have eroff, you may want to change this to psroff or another formatter of your choice. To change this, you need to edit the script "vman.csh" in $KHOROS_HOME/src/scripts/vman, and install the script in bin by executing "kmakeall install" in that directory.

The vman script also assumes that the printer name is "lpr". You may also want to change this to the printer name of your choice in the vman.csh script.
