Of course there is. Just type "cat file | sort | lpr", where you have written lpr to take input from stdin and deliver it to the printer. > > Any utility out that is similar to UNIX lpr? I recommend getting FinePrint, available at fineprint.com. It automatically gives you visible previews of your output, allows page deletion, etc., allows 1, 2, 4, or 8 up output (pages per sheet), one or two sided output, and proper booklet formation. After installation set it to be the default printer. -- [mail]: Chuck F (cbfalconer at maineline dot net) [page]: Try the download section. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
