It's at Sumex-aim and will not only put the checkbox on the Dialog automatically, but will also provide you with a standard file dialog box so that you can give your postscript files more meaningful names than just the generic Postscript0-Postscript9. Also you can save the files to any folder you like. Version 2.0 of LaserFix (which only works with version 5.2 of the LaserWriter is available on Compuserve and America Online. It will be available soon at Sumex.(P.S Version 1.1 is freeware, version 2.0 is CharityWare) ------------------------ David Sumner "If you ask a fish to describe its environment, the last thing it mentions is water."
