What does it do? Glue is a product that traps printing calls, and places the image that a program is trying to print in a file that can be cut and pasted into other programs. I don't think it can do just text, which may be what some users want. It is fairly easy to write a printer driver which will trap text that is printed, and place it in a file if this is desired. The November and December, 1987 issues of MacTutor contain an extremely-well-written article (by me) showing how to print text from within an application to the serial port. In order to save the text in a file, just write the output to the file, instead of ".AOut" or whatever. -- ********************************************************************* *Earle R.
