- Several people have posts right now asking for such a thing. I have on my
- computer a stack called "Print the Scripts" written and copyrighted by
- Richard Crispin in 1991. I have no idea where I found it, but it says under
- the copyright notice "May be freely used and given away but not sold,..."
-
- You can contact Mr. Crispin at psych@watserv1.uwaterloo.ca or at
- psych@watdcs.uwaterloo.ca. I would imagine he has binhex'd versions he
- could email to you.

- Incidentally, last week I used this stack for the first time and it seems
- to work just fine. It makes a couple of files on your hard disk, indicating
- the location of a given script (e.g. a particular bg btn), followed by the
- script. I seem to remember (correctly, I hope, but I don't guarantee this)
- that when you invoke the stack, it warns you that if you actually use the
- PRINT option on the stack, you may have problems. I didn't do it myself,
- I just dumped a text file onto my disk. The stack is extremely easy to use.
-
- Hope this helps all of you.
