Subject: R: PPR: Postscript problems

I have solved my problems simply changing the data format from binary to
ASCII in the Mac print window ; now everything works great .

Now i'm looking for a browser interface for job handling : something to hold
jobs , reorder jobs in queues and so on ... Has someone developed a package
or something else that can do this (because i beleave that the browser way
is the most user friendly an platform independent) ?

Thank you
bye
Claudio Benedetti
