Is there a way to get Windows to *append* output from print commands when printing to a file instead of directly to a printer? I need to print out a large number of graphs from Excel in PostScript format to a file and transfer the PS to a printer on a different system. My problem is that when you tell the Spooler to send output to a file it clears the old file and starts over with each print command. This means you have to switch out of Excel and rename the output file every time which is annoying and time consuming for 60+ printouts. At one point I tried a TSR print-redirector to try to capture the output to LPT2 (starting it before I started Windows), but Windows didn't believe that a printer was there. Any suggestions getting the output appended or pointers to print-rediector that work with Windows would be appreciated. (I'm using Windows/386 2.11 with Excel 2.10 if that helps.)
