Very often I have a need to print several RTF docs on a printer that's not on the local network - so I need a PostScript version of the document. It's quite a hassle to open all of the files in DL or Edit and save them to .ps files via the print panel. It sure would be great if I could perform this function from the command line. rtf-ps, WHERE ARE YOU? -- John McCracken White Computers john@nextdoor.com Can't Jump NeXTMail welcome
