I used XSane to scan and save file1.ps, file2.ps, file3.ps, file4.ps and then used ps2pdfwr as distro installed it to create pdfs and then installed pdftk to cat them to a single file.pdf. Next time I'll write a script to pickup every file*.ps from a set directory and create the single pdf. I'm not used to writing scripts and was wondering if the "mouse trap" existed before I created a inferior mouse trap.<br><;-}<br><div> </div>Donald G.
