I've been using legOS for Windows (Vamos-Wentworth's distribution) both on Windows 95 and Windows 98. Due to some reasons, I'll have to use a NT computer from now on (I'm the administrator).

Dave, I tried ps2ascii, but it didn't seem to work. The only thing I can suggest is to download a copy of GhostScript / GhostView.

Looks solid to me, and I appreciate the effort to isolate all the code with #defines- hopefully, most future feature additions will be similarly controlled.
