Type at a DOS prompt "GoXy.exe /?" and see what happens... Is GoXy.exe in C:\WINDOWS\system32 (the best place for it) or where? GoXy MUST be in the %PATH%. Next, edit JARKH9R1.BAT (or whatever the name of the temporary filename) and enable echoing: ::@echo off or rem @echo off so you can see what's happening under the hood. Also comment out the last "del" line, and finally run the batch file manually at a DOS prompt. Where does it hang? Make sure you've got a valid D:\XY4\FO.PS, which is the output of TYP-ing your document using a PostScript printer file like POSTGHST.PRN (and are you in fact using a XyWrite PS printer driver???). ----------------------------- Robert Holmgren holmgren@xxxxxxxxxx -----------------------------
