I once tried Trimmer on text or non-text file by choosing (in control panel) only one typeface like Helvatica or Monaco. The file is still big. A text file 50 K becomes 300 K or even greater than that. A non-text file 150 K becomes 700 K. I often create diagrams with more than 200 K or even 1.2 M and would like to use new HP LaserJet(only for pc-man), but ps file is too big to put on floppy.I really give up and go back to old LaserWriter. Can any friends out there have a magic solution to make the ps file shorter? Khanh Kim, Nguyen The beginner of using F command in rn knguyen@emr.ca
