Either ghostscript or a good word processor will do the trick. If you're using perfed cardstock, any word processor that can handle tables should work. I ran off a couple of sheets of those earlier this week with Applix Words, and of course you can just write the postscript to generate the output you want and feed it to ghostscript, or your printer if you've got a postscript printer. One function to print a card, then a loop to cause it to be printed at each position on the sheet. If you're going through a print shop, ask them what formats they will accept. The ones I've dealt with liked pdf. ps2pdf is part of the ghostscript port, and should work fine on either of the two forms I talked about for perfed cardstock, as I've as yet to see a WP that wouldn't generate postscript to a file. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
