Does anyone know where I can ftp a public domain Postscript viewer? Does such a thing actually exist? Ferry.

I now know that I should get ghostscript from prep.ai.mit.edu or some other addresses. Thanks to all that responded! Ferry.

Ghostscript is a postscript interpreter that runs under X11 - Ghostscript comes from the Free Software Foundation (gnu) so it is of a high standard. I do not know where you can ftp it from, I am sure somebody else will know. Dave

All it does is display the page in one size (no zoom) and wait for you to hit <CR> to advance to the next page. No bells, no whistles. I know I'm spoiled on Pageview which runs on our Sun's with Openwindows. This is much nicer. You can get ghostscript from prep.ai.mit.edu. Mike
