Jim, You mention that when you imported your PS file into JoliWrite that it "got some of the text and a bunch of little squares…". I have had that same problem when moving files between Macs, UNIX, and PC-DOS. It usually relates to the CR / LF combo, since some of these machines want both (IBM, I believe) and others want only a CR (or is it a LF?). I would suggest that your file was decompressed successfully, but JoliWrite is unable to interpret the end of line characters. With my QMS printer at work I have been able to use SENDPS successfully, even with the extra characters since it seems to be able to ignore the useless ones. Maybe you can try one of the programs that will strip the unneeded line feeds (or CRs) from the file. Or possibly the Mac's DOS builtin DOS transaltor would work (??). *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
