I'm curious about that. How does LPRng get gif to postscript conversion without ghostscript (one of the biggest pieces of "crap" you refer to).

Does it do all that internally, or does it include a lot of "crap" too? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
