Re: Is there a utility to open and display/copy a file via FILE ID?

if you routinely need to get to these spooled files, why not process them different way in the first place ?

Besides EXECSYMB that has already been mentioned, a shameless plug ... see my DRAIN program on Freeware v7 and at

http://wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu/vmswww/drain.html

Warnings:

1) it was written for the Multinet TCP/IP stack

2) it was written with just plain text files in mind

--------------------------------------

BUT ... it could give you a starting point for what you need :-)

FYI, DRAIN captures a print stream and saves it to a file.
