It's licensed commercial software, and as such I doubt any public FTP sites carrying "enscript" would be doing so if Adobe's lawyers knew of it. I don't know if there are any PD or copylefted substitutes---the folks in comp.lang.postscript or comp.laser-printers might have better info. pch -- =============================================================================== Pete Halverson INET: halverson@crd.ge.com GE Corporate R&D Center UUCP: uunet!crd.ge.com!halverson Schenectady, NY
