Close it (or > whatever a postsript interpretor is supposed to do)!", ....... Append a record consisting only of a control-D to your file. Alternatively, use the print symbiont modification routines to have the job_completion routine send a formfeed followed by a control-d instead of just a formfeed. Or you could start every file with a record consisting of only a control-d. I now append a file consisting of only a ^D after each file, and it works fine. Thanks to Carl, and to all who responded through email. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mats L|fdahl Stockholm Observatory tel +46-8 16 44 75 Lofdahl@Astro.SU.SE ------------------------------------------------------------------------
