It takes about 3 to 5 minutes to print out each image. There are about over 100 images. I tried to do this after dinner in order to avoid jamming the laserprinter during day time. I am wondering if there is a kind of batch file type thing on Mac like this: for file in $* do echo $file SendPS $file done Thus I do not need to sit there to press button all the time. I figure that someone would suggest me switch to A/UX. I do not have A/UX. My PC is run under DOS. However, MKS company sells MKS system which is pseudo shell thing. I can to the batch file job on my PC. Any suggestions would be appreciated. FAng -- Fang Zhong 1-919-684-8247 Duke University Dept. of Physics fang@phy.duke.edu Durham, N.C. 27706
