Thanks and Happy Xmas, MaRC

I don't fully understand your scheme but if I need
to put my data in a file to read it by a ps
program, I might as well put the data in the ps program.

I don't know how and why, my Adobe DPS lets me open
a file for read:

(/dir/file1) (r) file /infile exch def

and lets me read from it, but

(/dir/file2) (w) file /outfile exch def

is not working, I get an invalidfileaccess error.

---

So my question still is: is it poss to read something from
%stdin in the manner of other languages (i.e. the DPS waits
until receives an lf), or not.
If not, what is the purpose of %stdin?

Miklos
