Title: Tech question.
Post by: Sirgod on November 26, 2003, 10:04:10 am
I'm trying to open this file relating to Superstring/Supernumbers and how to multiply using them.

however, It is in a .ps format, one I've never heard of. Does anyone know what proggy opens a .PS file?

 link

BTW the file is safe.

It's a postscript file.
My browser (Safari on MacOS X) opens it automatically. I don't know how to do it on Winblows.

If you are in a pinch, I could convert it to something like pdf and email to you.

A .ps file is a postscript file. The easiest way to view it is to send it to a printer with postscript capability. If you don't have any such printer, you can download a Postscript viewer from a supplier of a shareware supplier. The two best are ROPS and ghostview.
 
You can get a trial copy of ROPS from "http://www.rops.org/". The ghostscript viewer is called GSview and can be downloaded for free from "http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/"

Another strategy to use would be to convert the postscript file to a pdf file and then use the free utility, Adobe Acrobat, to view the file. There is a free ps to pdf conversion service on the web at

Adobe Acrobat can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html [links checked 2003.05.14]
