          First, I'd like to say thanks to the responses I got to my posting,
second, I installed 4dos and set the environment variable, for some reason the
output file is being created but nothing is being written to it. It was sugges
ted that I should install the maintenance files, that was already done, and the
wierd thing about this is that I'm encountering this same problem with Ghostscr
ipt. Instead of the text being forked to a file, it's almost like it's being fo
rked to memory, or a conflict is fooling the program into thinking the text was
written to a file when it actually wasn't. Any suggestions?
