- I would like to generate a Postscript form letter and then merge data
- into the letter from an external data file. The letter would continue
- to print as long as new data remains to be read. The data would
- consist of an address block 35 charaters wide by 8 lines deep. There
- would be no control codes delimiting each record.
-
- This seems possible using readstring or readline but not being an
- expert I could use all the examples, tips and techniques I can get.
- Thanks.
