My understanding is that they don't make much money on this, but charge what it costs them for the license. Alternatively you can use a public domain postscript converter. I have been very happy with 'lptops', available via anonymous ftp from science.utah.edu. This supports a number of nice features including different fonts, pagination, multiple columns, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------- Darrell R.
