Actually, Joachim presented it the other way round:
The job sends the data to a pipe which is then sent to the printer/device driver.
Rich, I think you misunderstood me. Also the way you say it above is very confusing with the mixing of terms.
I propose the programs send the data to a special device driver. In theory, this device driver could be named "par".
This device driver actually forwards the data into a pipe (it could also dump it to ramdisk, or a temp disk on the hard drive or whatever).
The conversion program then picks up the pipe or file and actually send the data to the printer.
I hope this makes it clear. Joachim _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
