Postscript File Viewer (Ghostscript)

You need a postscript(ps) viewer program, such as Ghostscript, to browse through the ELEC101 and ELEC221 lecture notes and tutorials. The printer manager of your platform can pipe ps files to a PS printer.

To install a copy of ghostscript on your hard disk, you need gsview10.zip (175k) and gs261exe.zip (1.2M). You need both files if you wish to browse a postscript file on MS-Windows (Win3.1).

Installation

1) Create a sub-dir such as gs
2) Unzip both files using pkunzip with -d switch in gs sub-dir:

pkunzip -d gs261exe   and   pkunzip -d gsview10

3) In Win3.1, create icons for gsview and gswin. 4) Double click on gsview creates an empty page. 5) Before loading a file make the following command line is set
Choose OPTION, and then GHOSTSCRIPT COMMAND in gsview menu-bar.

c:\gs\gswin -Ic:\gs;c\gs\fonts;c:\gs\gsview
