What about a similar beast on the Macintosh?  I have seen advertisements for
Freedom of the Press as a postscript interpreter to print on any one of
a large number of printers.  Does this also allow viewing postscript on
the screen?  Are there any public domain or shareware ps viewers?

Thanks.

I, too, am looking for a utility to convert raw PostScript dumps into
something I can see on a Macintosh. We're trying to move PostScript
images from a Sun environment onto the Mac.

Any of the following would be helpful to me:

     Screen preview
     Conversion from raw PS to EPS
     Conversion from raw PS to Illustrator 88
     Conversion from raw PS to Freehand 2.0

I'd be interested in public domain/shareware, as well as commercial
products capable of handling this problem


Thanks,
