I am using ISC 2.0.2 with VP/ix. I regularly print out graphics with Windows 86, GEM and other graphics packages. There is one thing you have to be careful about. Before files reach the printer, they will be send through a filter. Some of those filters don't like binary data at all and screw up the printout. regards Christian -- Christian Seyb | Internet: cs@gold.UUCP uucp login: nuucp Vogesenweg 4 | Mailbox: +49-711-776494 24h 300-19200 HST 7024 Filderstadt 4 | +49-711-775126 0100-0600 CET 300-19200 PEP -- Unix - 20 years of research made it stabl nn: Bus error -- Core dumped
