You might also use GhostPCL o convert PCL to PDF, as far as I know... http://www.editcorp.com/Personal/Lars_Appel/ghostpcl/ To capture the PCL of an MPE/iX spoolfile, you might try FakeLP... http://www.3000newswire.com/subscribers/OnExtraNo53-0008.html The above shows FakeLP.java source code, but the HP3000-L archvies or groups.google.com for comp.sys.hp.mpe probably also has the Perl or C versions that have been shared in a related thread years ago.
