Actually something that does eps -> acsii would be ideal, but raw postscript to ascii will work ok. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Matt Lehman Internet: spline@milton.u.washington.edu University of Washington Bitnet: spline@uwacdc.bitnet Seattle, Washington "A mind is a terrible thing... and it must be stopped before it hurts somebody" *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

If you are on a Unix system, the command already exists. Try looking up the "cat" command. -Tom P.S. Do you mean something that will extract the text out of a postscript file? You might not be able to do it accurately, but no doubt a down-and-dirty AWK script might be able to do it. You'll get the text, maybe not in the right order, but you'll get the text. -- Tom Limoncelli -- limonce@pilot.njin.net -- tlimonce@drunivac.bitnet rutgers!njin!tlimonce -- Drew University, Madison, NJ -- 201-408-5389
