Well--- I don't know why you're bothering to write a postscript file and then read it into a Mac. The reason I was interested in these files was so that I could send them to the postscript printer connected to a VAX that I have access to. If you want to transfer a GS word processor file to a Mac word processor, I think that you'll need to write it out as an ASCII file and then do the reformatting yourself. Other than that, I also know of a program called Works to Works (I think) which translates Appleworks (not GS) formatting commands to Works (Mac) formatting. Rocky
