How do I open PS files?

no, im not a mac user, and nope, ghostview wouldn't open it...actually i have never gotten ghostview to work 🙁
 
there are a number of simple apps which can convert ps to pdf. I had a good command line one for linux... actually I used a dvi to pdf program too that was nice.

dvi2pdfmx file.dvi file.pdf

at the command line type thing. I'm sure there's a windows version for a ps to pdf program.

You need to install ghostscript, then install ghostview.

Ghostscript 8.14:
ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/gs814/gs814w32.exe

Ghostview 4.6:
ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/ghostgum/gsv46w32.exe

yeah i tried that, didn't work 🙁

that online thing worked, though, thanks!

Also, I have adobe reader, but it wouldn't open them, it seems you need distiller also, which doesn't come with the free version.
