Except when the printer output is coming from the Bridgeboard/Sidecar side via "LPT"...It either crashes or doesn't run, depending on which order you start them up.

I need to make postscript disk files from my printed documents. Does anyone know if the PostDriver software can make a disk file instead of just sending the output to the printer? If not will something else do the job?

There is a utility supplied with AmigaDOS called CMD (by Carolyn Scheppner of CATS -- is she still around?) which can be used to redirect output from your printer to a file. It is not the printer driver's job to dump it's output to a file -- but with CMD any printer output can be sent to a file. Hope this helps John PS. I'm not sure if AmigaDOS 1.2 came with CMD -- 1.3 does though. -- John Lindwall lindwall@ucsd.edu "Oh look at me! I'm all flooby! I'll be a son of a gun!" -- Flaming Carrot
