It should work, if you get all the information right and have the files (such as the filter) permitted right.

Do you get an error, do your files disappear completely, or do they print fine but print as if they were never sent thru the filter? -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
