Two caveats: 1) The software is intended as a programming environment for Postscript, not as a casual viewing utility. It is probably quite expensive and would have a lot of things you might not need (like an integrated text editor). 2) The Mac must be connected to a LaserWriter (via AppleTalk) for LaserView to work. It uses the PS interpreter in the printer to do the actual imaging, then sends the bitmaps back to the Mac for viewing. (side note: Adobe Illustrator does a pretty good job of rendering PostScript files -- you might try opening your file in Illustrator and seeing what happens.) Beyond that, your best bet is to buy a NeXT. :-> yours, -mike disclaimer: all i know about Posecrypt is how to spell it.
