I have an application that writes text to the currently selected print device, but has no obvious way to write output to a disk file. I can capture this text as PostScript, but I really want a flat file. Does a pseudo-driver exist that I might be able to toss into my System folder and then choose, which would trap printer output and make a byte- stream file? I've searched several large file servers for such a tool, without success. I've also asked several local Mac gurus, and those I trust all say this is the best place to ask. All replies gratefully acknowledged. (bill)
