Regards, Phil. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi, CorelDraw 7.0 is able to import PS files, and then you are free to edit the figure as you want. The only problem, it is not free... Keep in mind that older versions of coreldraw are not able to read PS files. ciao Luigi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Shin-Inn Chen, it is no simple task to write a PostScript interpreter. For the Macintosh there used to be a program called LaserTalk, which could be used to analyze and debug PostScript code. Some graphics programs (such as CorelDraw) will read a .ps file, and let you manipulate it as a graphical object. But it will not let you operate on the individual components. In principle you should be able to take the source code >from GhostScript and turn it in to an editor. Maybe someone else had better suggestions. Good luck, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, on workstation you can use "xv" and "ghostview" to edit and to modify your postscript files. However, it is not that good. I am very interested in any other solution. Bye. ...Xav --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Adobe Illustrator can do that very nicely, however it is not share or free ware and quite expensive. Best regards, Gert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There is a program for x-windows systems, but I don't know exactly the name. It's part of very linux distr. Try xpaint, tgif and so at one of the ftp-servers, I think it was tgif. Andreas Goeller --------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Shin, you may use CorelDraw to do this. Import it as *.EPS file and use the "curve" feature. After that you should ungroup it and make individual changes. Good luck. Regards, Claudio Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know what's your operating system, but if you use a Mac you can download the program called photoshop of Adove from: ftp.rediris.es If you use a Pc, you can use a program called "Paint shop Pro" for Win95. best regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello Shin, There is a plug-in for Freehand called "PS Edit Link". It is not free. For some PS files it works great (such as the print files from Daylight programs). In other cases it does not work. I don't know why. If you hear of anything better please let me know. Cheers, Eric -------------------------------------------------------------------------- hi Shin, one possibility to edit ps-files is the following: Take your ps-file (I think it is a figure) under Linux and convert it with the following order to an .fig-file: ps2edit (the exact order-structure can You see in the man-pages.After conversion you can edit the new file under the program xfig. If you have finished your session then you can safe the file as an eps-file. Hope it works! best wishes oliver --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, on workstation you can use "xv" and "ghostview" to edit and to modify your postscript files. However, it is not that good. I am very interested in any other solution. Bye. ...Xav ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Shin-Inn, Try with Ghostview x.x. I think it is freeware. with kindest regards, Zeljko ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use pagedraw software, it can be downloaded from the http://www.mayura.com/ page and it can edit the postscript files if you have the ghostscript installed. Hope this helps Regards ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Shin, on UNIX/LINUX, Win and Mac you may use ImageMagick which do exactly what you need. have a look at it at: http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html Bye Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only visual Postscript editor I know (and tried) is Tailor. It first appeared on NEXTSTEP and has been ported to MacOS. See http://www.zdnet.com/macuser/mu_0397/reviews/review12.html for a review. A demo is available at: http://www.enfocus.com/ See attachment below for a more complete description of the NEXTSTEP version of the program, which runs on Intel based PCs. Hopes this can help, Bruno ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.peanuts.org/ Tailor Office 2.0d Visual PostScript Editor Search the FTP-server for Tailor Office Description * postscript editor. With Tailor, you can visually edit PostScript documents, effortlessly and cleanly - no specialized knowledge required at all. You can cut pieces out of a document and copy them to any other application. Or recover text paragraphs for use in your favorite word processor. And all this regardless of the platform the document was generated on. Tailor offers numerous tools for productive, visual editing, even of the most complex documents. Tailor Office 2.0 is targeted towards the general user . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Shin, Adobe illustrator (AI) will allow you to read in postscript and edit each element of the postscript file. The current version of AI 7.0 on the mac and pc will read in the postscript file directly. AI 5.0 for unix and windows versions bellow 7.0(I also think mac version bellow 7.0) requires you to convert the file from .ps to .ai before it can be read in. This can be done using ghostscript (ps2ai.ps). I have also used Tailor and IslandDraw which are both very good but are limited with the platforms you can use it on. Adobe offers special academic pricing which makes it more affordable. I do not know of any freeware/shareware available which will allow you to modify a postscript file beyond scaling, rotating and converting file formats. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a suspicion that the original request may have been misunderstood. Until now, all postings referred to programs which can read an EPS file and export it as some kind of bitmap and support the addition of annotations and other image manipulations on the bitmap. A good selection of these programs has been presented in the previous posts. However, EDITING a PostScript file is another problem. For example, if you want do delete a line which crosses other elements this will be an awkward procedure in a typical image processing program, and in any case you will lose the advantage of the original file format, for example scalability without artefacts etc. There are programs available which contain an embedded PostScript interpreter and allow direct manipulation of the PostScript strokes and other basic elements. Unfortunately, these programs tend to be rather expensive. The freeware program 'pstoedit' (part of the X11R6 distribution, also available from numerous ftp repositories, check with archie, most current version appears to be 2.50) will read a PostScript or PDF file and output its contents in various vector formats (mif, fig, cgm, wmf, gnuplot, dxf, etc.) which can be loaded into a vector drawing program and manipulated in a more comfortable way than with bitmap image manipulation programs. Note however that this program only processes lines and text, embedded images etc. are lost in the conversion process. You also need a PostScript interpreter program, for example ghostscript. Of course, you can also use your standard text editor to edit the original file directly. PostScript is plain Ascii and inherently just another programming language. Direct editing is not so difficult as it may sound if you simply remove items - just a few hours ago I edited an MSI Cerius II output file to get rid of some annoying logos. All you need is a PostScript language documentation manual and a PostScript display program to avoid wasting paper during the editing steps. -- Dr. Wolf-D. Ihlenfeldt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have several options: - Adobe Ilustrator is able to read postscript files and modify the contents, but it's a commercial software. - Mayura Draw is a postscript editor for W95 and is FREEWARE !!! We have used it and is easy and fast. You can obtain it from http://www.wix.com/PageDraw May be you will need Abobe Type Manager if you need to include text.

Dr. S. Shapiro" Subject: IR halfband widths Cc: toukie@zui.unizh.ch Dear Colleagues; I quote from an article published in Spectrochim. Acta 19: 1013 ('63): "Band broadening can also result where a complex polyatomic molecule can exist in different conformational forms. If the centers of conformational isomerism are ultimately involved in the normal vibration responsible for the absorption, it is likely that two separate bands will be resolved, and many cases of this kind are known. However, if centers of conformational isomerism are more remote from the atoms primarily involved in the normal vibration, the perturbation of the steric change on the band frequency may be very small, in which case it will only act to broaden the band. NO EXAMPLES OF SUCH AN EFFECT HAVE YET BEEN POSITIVELY DEMONSTRATED ...." (Emphasis by capitalisation added.) I would be interested in hearing from anyone who can supply me with references (any, though the more recent the better) definitively demonstrating conformational IR band broadening of the type that, as of 1963, still had not been positively demonstrated.

It works great! What have we done? 1) We deinstalled the following packages: gcc-c++-2.7.2.3-5 gcc-2.7.2.3-5 gcc-objc-2.7.2.3-5 2) From ftp.circ.us.eu.org/pub/linux/packages/i386 we installed: egcs-c++-1.0.1-3 egcs-objc-1.0.1-3 egcs-1.0.1-3 egcs-g77-1.0.1-3 There was only one problem: The egcs packages require the binutilities package: binutils-2.8.1.0.17-1.i386.rpm to be installed. The default Redhat 5.0 distribution comes with binutils-2.8.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm So we tried: rpm -Uvh binutils-2.8.1.0.17-1.i386..rpm but this gave us: failed dependencies: libbfd.so.2.8.1.0.1 is needed by procps-1.2.4-1 So we decided to do: rpm -ivh binutils-2.8.1.0.17-1.i386.rpm That leaves us with two binutils on our machine. I don't feel to good about it, but I couldn't find a different workaround. Did I do something wrong? Or do I have to worry about this two binutils packages to be installed? Thank you for your help!
