VERSA - Versatec/Gould printer spooler.

This program reads files in several printable formats including ARDS,
XGP and PLT, and rasterises them for Versatec V80 and Gould 5200
printers, or as "Harvard scan" RLE bitmap files.

Normally it runs as a printer spooler, scanning the .GLPR. directory.
When invoked as VERSA, it runs in a test mode where it opens a fixed
series of files and displays them interactively using SUPDUP graphics.
The latter is more useful at the moment, so don't install the CHANNA
link by default.
