I have on several occasions tried copying *.ps files to COM1, and I have
tried using FILE - PRINT, both from FileManager. I have yet to get a
single printed sheet. The source *.ps files are posted to FTP sites as
alternatives to ASCII files. Is it possible that the source files are
not compatible with other files? I recall a thread of discussion pertaining
to a ^D prefix or postfix in some *.ps files, is this a possible cause
for problems when using FileManager?
 
I will persist in my attempts to get *.ps files through FileManager, but I
was hoping for a *.ps previewer and printer utility. Any such utilities
exist?
