Paul,
The script that gets called is also used as a standalone program. The system function
works okay for my intended purpose, the script
that gets called will on average be used two times from the calling script, and the
calling script is used infrequently. In fact, it
used only when we want to split a large print file into multiple parts to print to
multiple printers.
