Yes - I´m most interested ...

Tonight I downloaded the ghostscript and ghostview - file - I´m no expert
habd hope to be able to install these programs corectly !!

From what I understood - there is another program needed -
is that correct ?

I tried the one which Angus Grieves recommmended - but unfortunately -
continuos link - error -

Is it a necessary file?

Is it correct that the whole process will become much easier with Adobe
Acrobat 4 instead of ghostscript and .. and .. and ?




2) Download prn2file, a DOS utility from PC Magazine, from Shareware.com
<https://shareware.cnet.com/shareware/0-13628-500-1096192.html?tag=st.s
w.16165_501_1.lst.titledetail>,
unzip it and put prn2file.com into the SW43 directory.
