7043.6Thanks for the program.PCBUOA::WILLIAMSDTinker by tradeThu Jan 30 1997 07:2512
    Thanks Dave,
    
    The program worked just file.  The only problem I had was with some
    files I created by hand.  When sent to the same printer the file was
    printed as a text file rather than a PS file.  I added a prolog and it
    printed OK.  
    
    Now, does anyone have a short prolog?.  Mine is 16kb and would like
    something shorter.

7043.7Answered my own questionPCBUOA::WILLIAMSDTinker by tradeThu Jan 30 1997 08:0910
    Answered my own question.
    
    I remembered something about the first line of the file needed special
    characters for the printer to identify the file.  So, deleted the
    prolog except for the first line: %!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.
    
    The file printer properly.
