Handouts and exercises can be previewed (assumed I've made them
readable after they've been handed out), either as gzipped PostScript
or as PDF files. In order to preview PostScript files using a browser,
add under preferences (category navigator, sub-category applications)
the new application
| Description: | ghostview |
| MIME type: | application/postscript |
| suffixes: | ps |
| Handled By | |
| x Application: | ghostview %s |
Alternatively you can locally preview the files directly from the Unix
shell, e.g. by:
zcat /bham/ftp/pub/authors/M.Kerber/Teaching/MathLogic/e2.ps.gz | ghostview -
zcat /bham/ftp/pub/authors/M.Kerber/Teaching/MathLogic/h2.ps.gz | ghostview -seascape -
acroread /bham/ftp/pub/authors/M.Kerber/Teaching/MathLogic/e2.pdf
acroread /bham/ftp/pub/authors/M.Kerber/Teaching/MathLogic/h2.pdf
For previewing PDF files you need Adobe's Acrobat Reader. It is particularly useful if you use a Windows machine.
For printing you can either use the interface offered by ghostview
or Acrobat, respectively, or you can use Unix commands to print more
than one slide on one page
zcat /bham/ftp/pub/authors/M.Kerber/Teaching/MathLogic/e2.ps.gz | lpr -
zcat /bham/ftp/pub/authors/M.Kerber/Teaching/MathLogic/h2.ps.gz | psnup -2 | lpr -
For more information on psnup, see "man psnup".
