Printing and displaying files in PostScript, dvi and ms format

PostScript -- ( *.ps) filetypes

Unless you have a PostScript capable system and a Postscript printer you will need to install a package to read files which have a filetype (extension) of .ps . Packages are available for many types of systems. They are distributed with a Free Public Licence for DOS, Windows 3.1, Mac, OS/2 2.1, OS/2 Warp, Windows 95 and many unix systems. There are two components to the system. The first component, GSview, permits the easy integration of the second component, GSscript, into your operating system. (You will have to configure GSview to use GSscript -- see readme.gv included with the package for instructions.) The total package will take form 2 to 5 Meg of disk space and can be configured to work with Netscape, Mosaic, WebBrowser, etc. in a seamless way, once the viewer option for .ps files is set to be GSview (which then in turn calls Ghostscript). *.ps files viewed in Ghostscript may then be printed on most non-postscript printers exactly as viewed on the screen.
