Works but with 3 drawbacks:
 1. does not close the window at end (I mut type "quit")
 2. does not accept wild chars (to proceed several files) as does "lpr"
 3. does not accept gzipped files as does "lpr".

This means that I should write a small program in C/DJGPP or F77/DJGPP
to handle a number of files and gunzip them it suffix .gz is present.
But perhaps somebody did it already...
