Inside your Rundirex.txt, you should have this snippet:

Hi,
You might want to try to look into the Distiller side of things.
1) I believe you are using Rundirex.txt file to convert all the .ps's
into one .pdf. This page from Adobe confirms that it will take the

Yes, Distiller is running under Windows. When pages start to get ready,

That is out of question. The Windows machines are graphic workstations
which are not all connected all the time and the Distiller service is
