I'm looking for a way to print a particular page from a large postscript file. In other words, I need to print page 175 of a 300+ page postscript file. Suggestions? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Eastwood | A nod is as good as a wink to a blind meastwoo@digi.lonestar.org | bat, 'a squire? texbell!digi!meastwoo | --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Eastwood | A nod is as good as a wink to a blind meastwoo@digi.lonestar.org | bat, 'a squire? texbell!digi!meastwoo |

The "transcript" package that comes from Adobe includes a program called "psrev" that can do this with any PostScript file that conforms to the PostScript file structuring conventions (i.e. comments to denote page endings and beginnings, pages being printable on their own, stuff like that). If you don't have transcript, I suspect you could write a program to do what psrev does after spending a little bit of time dwelling on the conventions; one of the PostScript books (The Red, Blue or Green book) probably discusses the conventions, although I don't know about that for sure. -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
