ps files are Postscript files and can be opened with (for example) ghostscript. We really shouldn't have any .tex files one the site - they're really source for people who are building documents in a layout editor like LaTex. If you come across one, IBM makes a plugin viewer that you can try for free. It's available from http://www-3.ibm.com/software/network/techexplorer/.

You need to install GhostScript to be able to read PostScript files with GIMP. GhostScript can be downloaded from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/. After you install GhostScript, set the environment variable GS_PROG to the full path to gs.exe. Go to Start►Settings►Control Panel►Display properties►Apperance tab(►Advanced if you're on Windows XP/2003), and set all fonts to Tahoma (or any other TrueType font). See similar questions...

Convert them to PDF with ps2pdf and merge the PDFs using the line gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/tmp/s.pdf *.pdf; mv /tmp/s.pdf . There is a PSUtil tool "psmerge", but it does not always work. Theoretically, you could do psmerge -oall.ps file1.ps fil2.ps ... which produces a PS file all.ps, containing all the PS files file1.ps, file2.ps ... (note that there is no space after the -o flag).

Sometimes files can be corrupted as a backup program will try to backup an open file and when restored the file is corrupt. To stop NTBACKUP from backing up open files perform the following Check "Backup files in use". If it is set to 1 double click on the value and set to 0. Click OK If you do have "Backup files in use" set to 1 then you should also set the following parameter For more information have a look at Q159218 (http://support.microsoft.

MetaSynth currently looks at the file 'type' rather than the file extension. AIFF files that originate on the Mac usually have the file type set correctly but files created on PCs usually don't. If you have a file type utility (such as File Typer or File Buddy), check to make sure that the file type is AIFF. If there is enough interest expressed to us, we will create a 'droplet' application that will set the type correctly. See similar questions...

WinTeX is just a shell with built in editor. In order to compile and view/print TeX files you need a full TeX installation. I can recommend mikTeX (32 bit, easy to install). See similar questions...

Usually this means that some particular style file is missing. Use the gripe command to complain about about it and it will be added in very short order, or, an alternative package may be suggested. In the meantime, you can see if you can find the required .sty style file for download (e.g. from TUG ) and save it in the same directory as your LaTeX document. If your $PAGER variable is set to "less" sometimes the man command will truncate a man page. This is a truly ancient bug. See similar questions...

TeX is a typesetting system written by Donald E. Knuth, who says in the Preface to his book on TeX (see books about TeX) that it is “intended for the creation of beautiful books — and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics”. Knuth is Emeritus Professor of the Art of Computer Programming at Stanford University in California, USA. Knuth developed the first version of TeX in 1978 to deal with revisions to his series “the Art of Computer Programming”. See similar questions...

Contrary to the popular belief PostScript files cannot be concatenated to get the combined result. # won't work cat page1.ps page2.ps page3.ps > threepages.ps Entering the files as a separate Ghostscript arguments won't help either. # won't work gs -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=threepages.ps page1.ps page2.ps page3.ps PostScript programs change the state of the PostScript interpreter and these changes must be undone before the next program runs. First, write the following header. See similar questions...

You must rename the files into .mp3 from whatever file extention you had before. If .mp3 does not work, you should then try renaming the file to .zip or .rar and see if you can unzip it with either WinZip or WinRar. See similar questions...

If the file type appears in the Save dialog but is grayed out, you may need to change the image type. For instance, you can't save an RGB as a GIF (convert to indexed first) or an indexed image to JPEG (convert to RGB first). GIMP comes with full support for a few types built in. If the type you want doesn't appear in file type format of the Open and Save dialogs, you need to check the Plug-in registry to see whether you need to download an optional plug-in.

Yes. TextAloud can directly open .txt, .doc, .html, .rtf, and .pdf files. Please note that to open Word files, you must have MS Word installed on your computer. See similar questions...

Yes, in most cases. Most PDF files can be imported into TextAloud directly via File->Open. The exception to this are files that have strong copy protection or Digital Rights Management (DRM) turned on by their authors. There are other options for dealing with these files, so if you have trouble, email us. See similar questions...

The technical preview is primarily target at single user workstations, so tag2find always will return all tagged files of supported local volumes. If you share your workstation with other users and they tag files within their "My Documents" area, you will not be able to access these files as they are private. Even as you can see these files in your search result, you will not be able to open them, as tag2find does (nor ever will) tamper with the content of files. See similar questions...
