- Well, the CMD command in AmigaDOS does that exactly. And several commercial
- programs (eg. excellence!) allow you to send your output to a file as
- Postscript so it is ready for all those wonderful Postscript printers at
- work!
-
- DOS 2.1 also has a Postscript driver and perhaps you can use that and CMD
- together to send stuff as Postscript to a file, completely with AmigaDOS.
- I haven't tried that yet. Anyone know that this is possible? (But then,
- you did say you were using 1.3 now, so I suppose that isn't useful to you.)
