Hi Net,
After getting no answers at all about a program that
will convert a downloadable postscript file to an image
suitable for previewing on the mac screen, I ask again, is
there one or am I being silly ?
Thanks,
Michael.
PS I'm not really sure that the first message
actually got out into the Net, so I'm trying
again. If you want to flame me, please do
it by e-mail, it's much less painful.

LaserTalk from Emerald City Software (US 415 324 8080), list price $249,
is a Postscript language debugger/editor and on-screen previewer.
It also contains an on-line help database for the Postscript language.
I don't know who sells this package in Australia, so please call US
and ask for the distributor if one exists.
Many of the high end graphical packages as well could read in Encapsulated
Postscript code.

Emerald City's SmartArt is a cheaper solution. You'll need access to a LaserWriter though..

What this means is, Apple laserwriters have a built-in feature that allows you to image a picture, then upload it back to the macintosh, for display. Some programs (such as SmartArt) use this feature to display postscript on the screen (however, a 4 times normal size, I believe). In any even, don't buy one of these programs unless you have your own personal laserwriter.

Good choice, but LaserTalk requires you have a LaserWriter of some denomination hooked up and available; it actually polls the LW for a core dump of the image! Geoff
