Could anyone please inform as to weather or not there is a utility around that allows you to print a postscript file to a line printer hanging of an IBM PC using its graphics mode. Thanks in advance, Andrew Vellnagel. ------- INTERNET: andrewv@devvax.mincom.oz.au PHONE: +61 7 394 8038 POSTAL: Andrew Vellnagel, Senior Computer Operator, Mincom Centre 138 Juliette Street, Greenslopes, 4120, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.

Assuming that by line printer you mean dot matrix, I can recoomend GOSCRIPT. It works quite well, even with graphics on the page, different fonts, etc. I'm afraid I cannot tell you where to get the program, though. Also, Ghostscript (from the GNU group, I think) has been made available to MSDOS users. Again, no source known (other than the trickle servers).

But is there a program that will extract the text from a postscript file only. I find a lot of papers and manuals in postscript and just want to convert it to a text file! |/ |\evin
