First I'd like to say this is great work so far, but I do have a question. On the top of 15 you say, in reference to $$, "This doesn't strictly gaurantee [sic] that the filename will always be unique..." So how does using the command " scs2pdf > /tmp/output$$.pdf" make it unique then, as the next line states? Perhaps if the line "So to make unique filesnames use ..." to "So to make unguaranteed unique filesnames ..." Thats still awkard, but it feels like the sentence you currently have is offering to fix to the uniqueness problem with $$. The main reason I bring this up is in regular use our office will easier have a collision using $$.Folks, The HOWTO is basically done. Only a final proofread remains. I will finish that by Friday night. That means this is your last chance to complain about bits that I've omitted or are unclear or just plain wrong. Once the final review is done I'm hoping we can include the HOWTO in the tn5250 tarball. So speak up if you discover anything you don't like.

What I've been doing on my system is the command "scs2pdf > /tmp/output-` date +%m-%d-%H-%M-%S`" The date command in backticks will add the current date/time into the file name. Unless you can print more than one file a second, you can never have a collision until the year wraps.
Thanks.
