Hello, I have a postscript program which needs to output some text to a file. I declare the filename like so: /tmpfile (input.mrd) (w) file def Currently, it outputs to that file name in the same directory that I run the postscript program. I need it to output to a different directory, outside of where I am running the program. For example, I might want to output to "C:\Myfolder\input.mrd". I have tried several different ways of declaring the file, such as /tmpfile (C:\Myfolder\input.mrd) (w) file def, or /tmpfile (C:/Myfolder/input.mrd) (w) file def, or /tmpfile (Myfolder\input.mrd) (w) file def, or /tmpfile (C:\\Myfolder\\input.mrd) (w) file def.. etc. but none of those work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What PS interpreter do you use? The exact syntax - especially with respect to drive letters - depends on how the PS interpreter implements the access to the host's file system(s). Helge

Matt, AFAIK, the Xerox FreeFlow software is a workflow managing system which can be used together with the various printing systems supplied by Xerox; thus the PS interbreters behind the scene may be different (Solaris based DocuSP, Wintel based Fiery RIP etc.). So the file path syntax depends on the operating system the PS interpreter is running on. Helge
