Problem solved...I can't believe the answer..

gs -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dNOPAUSE -sOutputfile=xxx
mom1.ps -c quit

gs -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=xxx
mom1.ps -c quit

One of these lines works, and the other doesn't.  Notice the "F" in the
"OutputFile" flag.  It must be upper case - or else it does not work.   The
program does accept it as a valid flag, but it ignores it later on in the
code.  Technically, I messed up by not entering the flag precisely, but the
program should have warned me.

The program DOES validate command flags.  gs -lskdjg produces an error
that -lskdjg is an invalid flag.  But this one flag is half screwed up.
This is why I stopped putting upper case letters in my command line flags
years ago.  It always spelled trouble.

I've ignored that Skunkware CD for years - mainly because the name smelled
like trouble.  (get it? I crack me up)

Thank for your help....Now I get to finish my project.
