Ghostscript is a suite of programs and scripts which deal with printing of files and related tasks, such as converting from postscript to PDF and vice versa. It is available on all three major platforms and can be downloaded from two different sites on the Internet. If Scribus had never been invented you would still find Ghostscript very useful. I recommend that you invest the time in downloading it and installing it on your platform. Since I have never dealt with Macs I cannot help your further. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
