I have got a postscript file (produced on a UNIX system) which I would like
to print on a colour laser printer attached to a Mac.  None of the applications
I have tried - Mac Draw, Paint, Illustrator, PowerPoint, ..., will read this
file, as presumably it doesn't contain their special  postscript commands or
definitions.  Illustrator attempts to open the file but complains about an
illegal command at the end.

Please can anyone help - e.g. are there any applications that
could read a foreign postscript file and print it?  or has anyone got an
idea how I could turn this file into an Illustrator-type file (say) by
editing in some set of postscript definitions to it before shipping it across
from UNIX to Mac?

Thank you for any help.  Please mail to
