Greetings, I've been out of the PS world for about 18 months - I used to use a neat piece of example code which was a PS header which you pre-pended to an Ascii file and sent to a PS printer. The code in the header read the reminder of the file line by line and kept track of the page position printing 66 lines per page ala "line printer" format. Anyone still have this?

Alternately, anyone have an example of a simple file read - e.g. after a "%start-data" line?
Thanks, Bill D
