Actually, the first step creates PostScript files, which are used by just about every computer. If you can do that step using SoftPC, then the rest is just as native to a Macintosh as to a PC. > On the Mactintosh, there is no such thing as a PRNFile - I have no > idea what that is...nor do we have anything called a "path" on the > Mac, so that is also foreign to Mac users. PRN2File is a DOS utility that redirects a DOS print queue to a file, which means that it should run under SoftPC.
