If you don't like running in a DOS box, you can try out a little Windows GUI front end I've thrown together, abcm2psgui.exe . You still need to learn about the command-line options, but I find it useful. Get it from: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~emacpher/misc/grab/abcm2psgui.exe and put it in the same directory as abcm2ps.exe . You'll of course need something like Ghostview to view or print the resulting .ps files. cheers, Ewan To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
