Hi

Question 1:
I have a postcript problem that someone might be able to help me with.
One of our students is using a Silicon Graphics (unix) machine. He 
generates a postcript file and then transfers it to the mac in
ASCII format. 

What he would like to do is to edit and print this file. Now we
know that we could use Illustrator or Freehand, which will allow the
editing and saving as an ecapsulated postscript file. The trouble is
that both these programs cost to much.

Does anyone know of a good program or method that will allow editing
and printing of postscript files for the mac? Are there any methods
using Binary files?

Question 2:
Is there any program on the Mac that will allow a user to input a
postscript command file and generate a plot or picture so that this
could be modified in a draw or paint program? The postscript files
were actually generated on a VAX.

ta,

nick
