If it's literally just text, then: a2ps -1 -o outfile.ps infile If it's LaTeX: latex infile.tex dvips -o outfile.ps outfile If it's in a word processor, you can typically print postscript to a file. OpenOffice, for example, has a "print to file" box to check; if you've selected a generic postscript printer, the output will be postscript. Adobe offers drivers for Windows to do the same thing, but if you're posting to this list I assume you don't want those. ap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
