This has changed with os updates, and at least at one time depended on whether
your file equate specified a device class or device number.

This is a big deal for us because we have big print jobs consisting of lots of
small & medium files that must print in order.  I have twice had to make
emergency tweaks after updates, but so long ago I don't even remember which
tweak came first, and whether they were both in the 16-bit days or one was on
pa-risc.  Once I replaced a multi-copy file equate with a one-copy file-equate
and sent the file to the printer a few times to stop the next file from from
butting in between copies.  Once the fix was to replace device class LP with
ldev# 6 in the file equations.
