[back] Com Sci 230 Viewing PostScript files

If you are running Netscape on SGI machines, you will need to do the following in order to be able to view PostScript files:
  • Add this line to the .mailcap file in your home directory:
    application/postscript; xpsview %s
    (If you don't have .mailcap, you can simply copy ~ilia/.mailcap to your home directory.)

  • Make sure that /usr/bin/X11 is in your path.
  • In order to print those files you will have to either access them directly (from ~odonnell/WWW/OData/Courses/CS230/Computing_Resources) or run Netscape from one of the Department's Suns (e.g. tartarus or gargoyle.)
