In some of the products I've come across when I googled, ghostscript is mentioned. Do you think ghostscript will be required to get this all to work?
Another thing I tried but could not get it to work was to set up a BFS area in VM, define that area to NFS, have a zLinux mount the NFS mount-point and run ps2pdf (on zLinux). Something kept getting lost in the translation. When I moved the same file from VM to to a Windows share and have zLinux mount that windows share and run ps2pdf, it worked fine. I prefer to run it all on/in CMS. My 2nd preference would be to use zLinux. We have a convoluted way of doing it now. If the convoluted way was all relays and lights, it would actually be pretty fun to watch run. Rube Goldberg comes to mind.

It's in C, eats stdin and writes to stdout. There shouldn't be any major issues with compiling it on CMS. Not fancy, but it'll probably do the job.

I know there is an html to pdf; that is not what I want. Ideally, it would be written in Rexx and/or assembler. I also have Cobol available and C+ on the mainframe. I've googled but haven't come up with much. Thanks, Steve
