Thanks for your feedback. However Axel Rose has found a big hole in the logic and will be posting a note about this. >Getting a few more lines would be even more useful. See e.g. >http://www.isoc.org/briefings/001/isocbriefing01.pdf Thank you for the reference which I'll follow up with interest. I think 'getting a few lines' would probably need quite an extensive script. Generally those few lines are likely to be encoded in one of three ways and I don't know myself how one would go about decoding LZW (for instance) in MacPerl. In addition there are the complications of dealing with linearised and non-linearised pdf files; to say nothing of all the things I haven't even thought of. Alan Fry
