Thanks. % man -t xinetd > xinetd.ps Then use whatever you wish to move the postscript file onto the other system and its printer. The postscript version of the man page above is much prettier and easier to read than the displayed screen version. If the postscript printer has an ethernet interface, and its on a network connected to your FreeBSD box, then the changes to /etc/printcap to be able to print directly on it are easier than copying the file off to another system to print. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ====================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
