Re: Problem with PostScript files on Alpha



Hi Jan-Erik and all those who contrinuted

The problem is solved but I think that there were two parts to it.

1. The PS files were all the user guides etc for C, C++ and Bliss
2. I copied them using ASCII via FileZilla but couldn't open them in Adobe or Preview.
3. I read your answers, tried again a and - no luck.
4. I rebooted the Mac, tried again and it worked!

So, something inside OSX was obviously a bit broken but now all works well - thanks!

Just installed some compilers on OVMS8.3 and FTPd the PS files to a PC and a Mac. Can't open them using Adobe Distiller/Reader on either platform or the Preview tool on OSX as the product says they are corrupt. Can't "decode" them online using GhostScript interpreter - same reason.

You can open the postscript files in a text editor on the mac with:

Again, Gremlin, what documents is this ?

I'll bet that there are PDF files available already.
All compilers I know about have docs in PDF format.

If so, you can just forget about the PS files...
