Then this is not a PostScript previewer. This is a QuickDraw Redrawer. I have a PostScript Previewer based on the one written by goswell many years ago. It works, but barely. It will take some time to get it together, but if enough people reply, I will get it posted somehow. I DO NOT have time to work on it, so someone might wish to take the source and improve if possible. ------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Endres | time@ice.com ICE Engineering | uupsi!ice.com!time 8840 Main Street | Voice FAX Whitmore Lake MI. 48189 | (313) 449 8288 (313) 449 9208
