I found a file on 35.1.33.8 called Postscript Magic that converts postscript to just about any printer type. You have to have a minimum of a 286 to run it. It seems to be quite a good package, but it is missing some files... like fonts ;-) But otherwise it does a good job of graphics. It will supposedly read output from programs that put out postscript code and it has an interpreter built in. If anyone knows where one can find a complete version of this archive please let me know! The archive is PSMAGIC.ZIP. -- {a864,Jono_Moore}@mindlink.UUCP >or< BITNET: usernk1z@sfu (604) 983-3189 (voice) INTERNET: Jono_Moore@cc.sfu.ca (604) 983-3546 3/12/2400 (Cthulhu's Progressive Link - MSDOS only) I've got compassion running out of my nose, pal.

I know this is kinda like putting a turbojet with afterburner on a '52 Nash, but is there some sort of package which will translate...if that's the right word...postscript output to something an Epson LQ-510 printer can handle (slowly)?

There are a couple. The only one whose name comes to mind right now is called "Freedom of the Press". Not cheap, but good, all things considered. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick Rutledge {hoptoad|ucsfcca|claris}!wet!rick rick@wet.UUCP "Voici le secret." dit le renard.
