Hi all
Has anyone out there successfully used an MS Windows www browser (Cello or 
Mosaic) to access MycDB (URL http://kiev.physchem.kth.se/MycDB.html), in 
particular things like physical maps and so on.
When we accessed a page with a physical map, we got what looked like a 
textdump of a postscript file, so set up Ghostscript for Windows as follows 
(for Mosaic 2.04):
TYPE1=application/postscript
application/postscript="c:\gs\gswin -Ic:\gs %ls"
application/postscript=.ps,.eps,.ai
but still got the same thing (or, if we moved the .ini file out of the 
\windows directory, a warning that a postscript viewer was needed)
What are we doing wrong????
Please help!
Thanks in advance
John Hauman
