For what it's worth - I've just discovered a IIgs shell app that will extract the text from either PS or PDF files and save it as a standard text file. The program is called: PSPDF2txt and was programmed by Mike Searl. As soon as I have the time and abilities to make it available, I'll upload it to both; Ground and the NEW GS ftp site. It's an unrestricted freeware BTW :) Cheers, Tom
