If you're interested, Jerry, you can save a few steps with the ps2pdf batch file. Try and edit your c:\autoexec.bat file and make sure that the PATH line includes the entries for the "bin" and "lib" subdirectories in your ghostscript directory. Reboot your computer. You can then replace steps 4 and 5 with one step: 4) Type "ps2pdf c:\temp\email1.ps c:\temp\email1.pdf" Let me know if that works. -- -Angus B.
