There is a shareware utility (I believe that you can find it at sumex-aim) called PocketBookMaker that will do this for you from the postscript file that you generate with a cmd-F sequence in the print dialog of your application or through the "To Disk" checkbox, if you have used one of the utilities that makes it visible. It works quite well and has the advantage of letting you use whichever program you happen to like to generate the output (except something like MPW that doesn't go through the print dialogs). -- Dennis Cohen Claris Corp. **************************************************** Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed above are _MINE_!
