We at JPL need software for displaying or previewing PostScript files on a Mac screen. In other words, we need the equivalent of "Display PostScript," except running on a Mac. Does anyone know of such a thing? Commercial or public domain will be OK. Thanks in advance. brian . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The program actually uses the Laserwriter to compose the picture which may then be previewed on the Mac screen. It has extensive Postscript debugging facilities, e.g. tracing. The down side is that it ties up the printer. I think the company was bought by Aldus, so you might start by calling them.

If you let FOP print to ImageSaver, you can view your output with SuperViewer. (ImageSaver and SuperViewer are part of a package called SuperGlue, also commercial.) Unfortunately, I do not know addresses for either company, but you ought to be able to locate them in any decent Mac magazine. Thomas (thomas@duteca.et.tudelft.nl)
