This works beautifully. The driver looks for a two byte header to determine if it should print, plot, print/swap, or plot/swap (assuming the file is a `binary' file). I am EXTREMELY pleased with this software, and it seems to me that the SLAC stuff could VERY easily be modified to write a two byte header (instead of a one byte header that I believe it writes in the version I have). I suggest you call Versatec and ask if you can buy the driver separately (if you don't like COMPLOT). From The Great Zar p.s. I have no ties to Versatec and make no guarentees that the above exists or works.
