Jeff, would you be so kind as to supply an example of using PIPES and
TEES?  Here's what we'd love to be able to do, or something like it,
using pseudo-mpe syntax, I hope you get the idea.

REDIRECT would contain something like...
;dev=WIDELP
;dev=LASERJET;env=lj132dgb.pub.minisoft

:FILE MYOUTPUT;^REDIRECT
:RUN MYPGM

and the result would be ONE invocation of the program; WIDELP might even
be non-spooled.

Our current solution is run the program twice, which ensures that the
pre-space-print CCTL option (A) and the single-space-no-autoeject CCTL
option (C) both appear in the spoofles.  You can easily imagine
situations in which run-twice is unacceptable, not just inconvenient.

(iirc that's the problem with the flat-output-then-fcopy solution - you
get hardware default printing,  which is post-space-print and
auto-page-eject 'features'.)

(I THINK this example also points out a problem with just copying
spoofles, in that the env= specification is IN the file.  To do the
spoofle copy solution, we'd need to STRIP the env= and SAVE the C & A.)
