Hello NetWorld ! I wonder if it exists a program that redirects the output to the printer port to a file. The problem is that I have Timeworks ST Publisher and I want to get a Postscript file so that I can print it out here on the University's nice laser printer. Publisher ST (configured for Postscript) just dumps the data to the printer port, and I want to be able to transfer it to a file instead. Anyone has a solution to this problem ?

Yes, "Barrel" by Moshe Braner does this. It captures anything that goes to the printer and saves it in a RAM buffer which you can save on a file later. -- Dipl.-Inform.

If barrel isn't on the atari.archive or at panarthea, I could upload my copy to one or both (a good exercise for me, I haven't done it yet for either 8-). If I get no response, I won't do either, I'll just send it to Martin if he asks. BTW, if someone could post, or tell us where to get a copy of pscapt, I'd be grateful, my copy was corrupted.
