It's a Postscript interpreter. There are several flavors: Pro, Regular, and Light. Most people can afford only Regular or Light. Also, I've heard that T/Script will do postscript interpreting too, but I have no direct experience with that. In either case, don't expect to be able to read *all* postscript properly. 1801-C Page Mill Rd Palo Alto, CA 94304 ngo@interval.com >>> Received: from RANI.CHEM.YALE.EDU by mastermodel.ps.uci.edu (920330.SGI/5.17) id AA06798; Tue, 2 Nov 93 17:13:55 -0800 Received: by rani.chem.yale.edu; Tue, 2 Nov 93 20:14:14 -0500 From: Dongchul Lim comp.sys.mac.apps or comp.lang.postscript is the right place for this question. Anyway, postscript files are just ASCII text. So it doesn't matter where you created them (except Macintosh). Canvas 3.0 will allow you to display and edit postscript files. If you want to just insert EPS into a document, most word processing programs (such as Word) will do the job.

Wolf" We have had success with Adobe Acrobat (Distiller and Exchange) and Photoshop. Distiller imports standard looking postscipt and creates a file called a postscript data file readable by Exchange. Exchange has document viewing tools in addition to printing. Acrobat will do text and graphics. You can cut the text (but not the graphic) and paste it into other applications as TEXT. Since postscipt is ASCII we can EMAIL graphics about. Acrobat also runs on Windows. Note all ftp file transfers need to be ASCII. I hope this helps. Ralph ________________________________________________________________ Ralph J.

It's called DeBabelizer from Equilibrium software. I ordered it from MacWarehouse for $198. It will read any encapsulated postscript file, SUN raster file, 24-bit color X screen dumps from IBM's AIX and convert it to a postscript file or PICT file on the Mac (8-bit). It's a very powerful tool, probably more powerful than you need for this one application. But what I found is that I've started using it for so many things (I have an SGI and IBM RS/6000) I don't know how I lived without it. They have a good technical support hotline, also. What this package will allow you to do is convert it into a format that you can go it an edit it on the Mac. Very convenient.

Strictly speaking, postscript files are ascii files, which any word processor can "read". However, I assume you mean something like interpreting the postscript onto the screen (for which you can use ghostscript) or sending to a postscript printer (for which you can use SendPS).-kby
