Can someone help me with this. Supposedly I can capture works into postscript files on disk on my GS by holding down the command-f just like on the mac. I have not been able to get this to work yet. I'm using GS/OS and I would like to be able to capture Multiscribe documents. I hit command-f just after selecting ok in the print window. Is that not correct? I would think its the same as the mac, but no luck on any programs yet.

I've never seen any documentation to that effect & don't see how it would be implemented without the application's cooperation. -- Scott, late of StyleWare -- Scott Lindsey, wombat | UUCP: {ames,apple,portal,sun,voder}!claris!scott Product Development | Internet: scott@claris.com | AppleLink: LINDSEY1 Claris Corp. | Disclaimer: These are not the opinions of Claris, (415) 960-4070 | Apple, the author, or anyone else living or dead.

I think that you have to hold down command-F for a while -- until the dialog bow says that it is spooling to the file. Or is the key sequence command-K...I can never remember...

If it doesn't seem to be working, make sure you have version 2.1 or later of the LaserWriter driver. >I can't help you... but I'd like to know where you heard that for the GS. >I've never seen any documentation to that effect & don't see how it would be >implemented without the application's cooperation. It's described in the System Disk 3.2 release notes. Why would the application need to be involved? The driver is generating the PostScript anyway. It just saves it to disk instead of sending it to the printer. >-- Scott, late of StyleWare > >-- >Scott Lindsey, wombat | UUCP: {ames,apple,portal,sun,voder}!claris!scott >Product Development | Internet: scott@claris.com | AppleLink: LINDSEY1 >Claris Corp. | Disclaimer: These are not the opinions of Claris, >(415) 960-4070 | Apple, the author, or anyone else living or dead. -Paul Wenker prw@meccts.MECC.MN.ORG -MECC, Technical Services
