I used the "myPageSetup" program to make the item visible, but other than that the capability is still there in 6.0 and I use it. > The big question is, of course, will THAT file include the LaserPrep? No, and that is what you want for the normal case. Include the LaserPrep file in the spooler driver or when you send the file off for printing. I put a hack into my MacQPr that detects the %%IncludeProcSet comment and includes the proper (5.2 or 6.0) version of the hacked prolog file when it is sent off to the remote MDQS postscript queue. -- Sig DS.L ('ZBen') ; Ben Cranston * Computer Science Center Network Infrastructures Group * University of Maryland at College Park
