Hello, netfolk.

Under other OS's, I have gotten used to being able to print to a file,
the idea being to take this file later to a machine connected to a
printer and print it there.

As I have no printer connected to my NeXT (anyone selling a used NeXT
laser *real* cheap?? :), and my NeXT is not on a network, I now need
this same ability under NeXTSTEP.

I searched for Print in Dig.Lib., but found nothing applicable.  Does
anyone know how this can be done under NS3.0???

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

(Oh, and while I'm posting anyway....  *MANY* thanks to the numerous
people who responded offering to help me get the X11R4 distrib. off of
foxtrot, and an especially huge thanks to Scott (hi, Scott!! :) for
sending them to me so quickly!  :)

Cheers, and happy holidays,
David
