This was added in v.2 I believe. Also there is another method that works for all programs (one is of course the eps option as above). Add the line File:= to your ports section of win.ini (it may already be there). Then 'connect' your printer to that 'port' in the control panel. When you print you will be prompted for a file name. You can also put File:=filename in win.ini which will cause windows to print to that file. The advantage here is that it works for all printer drivers, not just postscript. You can also have multiple entries with different printer drivers pointing to different files, etc. What I'd really like to see is a way to assign my print output to my ethernet connection so that my docs would automatically be printed on our network SparcPrinter. -- Timothy Keitt tkeitt@algodones.unm.edu Graduate school, its not just a job its an indenture!
