Yes, the Distillery can be made to write directly to a file, although
I've never tried it with USPC.  I think that all you have to do is to
change the way you invoke the Distillery.  If you are currently putting
the word "distill" followed by the whole file to be distilled, try the
following instead:

(filename.ps) distill

If (filename.ps) can be opened by the interpreter, it should write out
a file named "filename.psx" with the distilled output.
