To view postscript files on a Mac, there are at least two possibilities:
- Ghostscript is free software, clumsy to use, ugly fonts
- Adobe Illustrator is expensive, slow and converts postscript into objects
  which can then be manipulated.

: 	There's quite a few very good shareware programs for printing ps
: files directly from the mac. MacLPR is the one we use - just drop the ps
: or ascii text icon onto it, and it prints - fast, easy to use (it sorts
: out whether its ps or ascii itself).

The "LaserWriter Utility" which comes either with your Mac or your Apple
LaserWriter is able to download Postscript directly to your printer.
