- When I started using the PS output, I too had trouble. I used the "to disk"
- option and it was a disaster! I now use PSCAPTURE --- an accessory you
- can get from a.a and all is well. Postscript interpreters expect to see
- %! on the first line of the file so this acc puts:
-
- %!PS-Adobe-1.0
- %%Title: GEM Document
- %%Creator: Atari ST GDOS
- %%CreationDate: 08:24:54 04-03-1992
- %%EndComments
-
- at the start of the file and:
-
- %%Trailer
- %%EOF
-

- printer it will then spool to the file you named in the set-up.
-
- Good Luck.
