I would like to display a postscript file on a Macintosh. Is there any software available to do this conversion: Postscript to PICT? Also, is there anything available to strip the plain text from a postscript file? I appreciate your patience with a postscript apprentice. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Chris Stuart 215 CCC Cornell University Ithaca, New York 14853 chris@heights.cit.cornell.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------ --

The software Postility Toolkit by Postcraft can recover Pict and/or text from an encapsulated postscript file and save it. Another product, MacRip (now called Tscript) by TeleTypesetting can take postscript code and display it on the screen. Unfortunately it can only display it on the screen and Tscript requires a locally connected Postscript engine (printer), appletalk connected won't work. I don't think that this is exactly what you wanted. I am looking for the same thing, i.e. a tool that will take a postscript file (not eps) and produce a pict file (or any other mac format) from it. Thus the reason I have bought and used Tscript and Postility. If you (or anyone out there) come across the tool I need, please let me know. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = John DeRosa, Motorola, Inc, Cellular Infrastructure Division = = e-mail: ...uunet!motcid!derosaj = = Applelink: N1111 = = I do not hold by employer responsible for any information in this message = = nor am I responsible for anything my employer may do or say. = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Is there anyway that I could get a copy of the routine that uses a localy connected postscript engine to display the bitmap? I am looking for the "extract the bit-map" code fragment. I don't have a mac, but do have access to one, and would be most delighted to obtain a copy. email me a note. Cheers Woody
