PS reader

[Chakolate]

Is there a .ps reader other than adobe? I'd hate to have to saddle myself
with version 7 (or higher?) just because I want a postscript reader.

Um. I don't think any of the viewer listed there will do pure PostScript.
The best for this is, IMHO, still the Ghostscript & GSview combination:

GPL version if used on business, AFPL for home. Although GSView has gone
Nagware it is still legally free.

Mea culpa - mea maxima culpa. . . I saw "Adobe" and reacted hastily. The "PostScript" part sank in
a bit later. Of course that was just *after* I sent the post

so. . .

I decided to let bad enough alone. . . feeling sure people who know more about PostScript than I
do would offer *good* advice.

erm. . . how many demerits do I get for the lousy post?

There, there, Susan. If I look outside it may be dark, yet. (Here in
Europe.) But the world as a whole seems to be in fairly good order,
still. ;-)
