That's not too handy to read. |pr's output doesn't have to be sent to a printer. I doubt there's |a week goes by without my using it. It just depends what your fingers |know. Nah, it can create text too (with control sequences, but that you can filter away again, and mostly there are none, anyway). I am actually not using it no more that often; i used it often to review (80 column) code via printout, and it can/could give you 8 pages on a single DIN A4 paper. (Or two times 4 pages, to be more exact.) --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
