When I generate a PostScript file (rather than printing to the printer) of a fairly simple image (I think the application I was using was Aldus Freehand 2.02 [Yes, I know that's not the latest revision -- haven't tried it with Freehand 3.0 yet]), I get a file that's over 700K long! The corresponding PS file from previous revisions of the system is about 125K long (sans prep section). Anyone know anything about this? --Jon -- Jon Howell: College kid leading a "normal" life. jonh@pogo.WV.TEK.COM 6417 Sorrel Way Delphi: PHEON West Linn, OR 97068 (not that I (503) 657-7964 ever log in)
