I recently captured the butterfly posting. I enjoyed printing out the Escher-like tiling. However, I don't have a color laser printer. The black and white looked good, but I want to see it in color on my screen (Mac II). How can I load this into Adobe Illustrator? I realize that postscript programs can be loaded into Illustrator directly, but I just can't seem to do it. I figured out that you needed a %!PS-Adobe-DogHead header and a %%Trailer end etc. thing, but that doesn't change. Please help. I'm a postscript novice.

Illustrator accepts a restricted subset of PostScript as its file format. See "Adobe Illustrator 88: An Official Handbook for Designers" for specs on the format. Richard Silverman
