Ghosview: Viewer/Printer of postscript Documents

Introduction

Note: If you are working on a unix station, then you may assume that this program is already installed. However, PC's usually don't come with this software.
The Ghostview software allows viewing and printing postscript files. You can download and install it on your PC easily, from
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.html .

Viewing postscript files

I assume that you use Explorer on WIN95/98.
When you click on a postscript file in the internet, you will be asked if you wish to open the file or to save it to your disk. Answer "open".
The first time that you do this, your system will ask you to tell it where is the program that should open the file. Choose "other", and look for the program "gsview32" in the directory where you installed the software.
The next time that you click on a file with extension .ps, it will open automatically.
