I'm starting to look at different ways to script this kind of stuff; but there are SO many ways in Linux... - have you tried using oowriter? - or writing a simple html page: Side-by-side: <html><body><a href="1.png></a><a href="2.png></a></body></html> One-above-the-other: <html><body><a href="1.png></a><br><a href="2.png></a></body></html> - or scripting; here's a sequence you could script: pngtopnm 1.png > 1.pnm pngtopnm 2.png > 2.pnm pnmcat -lr 1.pnm 2.pnm | pnmtops | gv - # for left-right pnmcat -tb 1.pnm 2.pnm | pnmtops | gv - # for top-bottom Of course, the script example would require a whitespace pnm file for each direction if you don't have whitespace around your images... "gv -" lets you view the results; replace with "lpr" to print... I'm sure there are many more ways that I haven't found yet; but it's fun exploring... for example, use command completion to find some possible utilities; at a command prompt, type the start of these commands and hit the TAB key: $ png $ pnm $ ps and whatever else you find interesting; for example, pnmtotiff might lead you to: $ tiff2ps The point is to explore... :^) HTH, Pierre
