James et al,
Printing from within Dia is fine. I am generating the Postscript
files to ship to people who do not have Dia, so one diagram per output
file is what I need to do. I had not considered using a shell script
to print all diagrams though that might be a good idea to have
hardcopy for each deliverable I do. I have no immediate need to
generate a single Postscript files from multiple Dia files.
Thanks,
Jeffrey
