I am trying to write a program (In PostScript) that will read in a file (EPSF) and incorporate it into the final page. Being a novice at this, I would like to (for now) simply scale and center an EPSF on a blank page. I can think of way to do this in Pascal, reading the file, checking its bounding box, and outputting a new postscript file to the spooler to be printed. However, I don't have a Pascal compiler, and I don't want to learn C at the moment. If I use the readstring operator to read in lines from the EPSF, can I store them and convert them to a [very large] executable? Or will I eventually have to use C or Pasal to do this? Thanks, -- MikeC _________________________________________________________ Michael D. Callaghan, MDC Designs, University of Maryland mikec@wam.umd.edu
