I got my copy as part of a package software deal from Wordstar International. I've seen ads for it though. I've used it to take an HPGL file from AutoCad and convert it to HP PCL and output it on a Laserjet. It supports a *lot* of formats. And it will produce Postscript output. I've never tested that as I don't have access to a Postscript printer. -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.
