How can i view ps files in HPUX

[Rene Mendez_4]

Hello Folks,

I need to see some documents that came into a tar file (Q4 debbugger sw). This docs are available in /usr/contrib/Q4/doc/.

If you know how can i see this docs, let me see.
Thanks

Rene

Most of this doc should be viewable with the vi editor.

If any of it is html, you can use a browser like netscape or mozilla to view the file in X-Windows.

CDE may have additional useful file/manual viewers.

The easist method is to simply print them on a postscript printer but ig you have an X display you can use Ghostview but you will need to install all the required packages.

In CDE there sometimes (Solaris,Irix) is a Postscript viewer, and sometimes there isn't.

Right now, this is the 'is not' case, but You can use ghostscript http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/PostScript/ghostscript-7.07b/ (or maybe it was ghostview? It's available at the same site)

[H.Merijn Brand (procura · Accepted solution]

Ghostview is old, and probably will not play nice with newer versions of ghostscript

gv, it's better counterpart, is much newer, but has also not been touched for a while now

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/PostScript/gv-3.5.8/

See http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/PostScript/ for more options

postscript itself is pretty current, and looking at the dates, ploticus might be an interesting option http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/PostScript/ploticus-2.30/ but the header sais graphs and plots

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
