Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In learning to use FreeBSD 3.4/4.0 and some other Unix-type systems I've seen that many documents are distributed in postscript format. If I'm on a FreeBSD machine, with no X installed, how can I read the contents of these postscript files? I attempted to issue the command: gs myfile.ps but received the following errors: Aladdin Ghostscript 6.01 (2000-03-17) Copyright (C) 2000 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA. All rights reserved.
