A version of the Windows "FILE:" port which does not prompt for the file name but autogenerates one.

Hi.

I have a process where one of the things to do is to capture the output from a print into a file for further processing. For this I have configured a "FILE:" printer port which works very nicely but asks everytime for the file name to use.

Unfortunately "FILE" is not a very descriptive word when trying to use a search engine :(

Is there a small driver somewhere which does exactly the same as the FILE: driver, but can automatically generate a filename (perhaps based on a pattern) and just print to that?
