  Wrong Phil...  It -does- work if you get it setup right...

  "Oh well" indeed...  I wonder what you did because I've had very good
luck printing postscript to disk using PageStream 1.5.

  Did you delete the old .INF file and reconfigure your program before you
tried printing?  Are you using the new (specific for 1.5) printer drivers? 
Not doing either of these is the single most common cause of problems with
version 1.5 and both can cause the problem you described.

  I agree that neither of these "should" cause the program to crash, but
they do.  PgS is not fully mature (cans of Raid and the like are still
necessary) and I am one of the people who give SoftLogik the worst time
for their failings when I'm on GEnie.  On the other hand, I'm also very
much in favor of giving them credit for getting things right when they do
and PgS can, in fact, print quite acceptable postscript "to disk" (once
you get past the setup problems).
