It has come to my attention that most 307 students are not up to speed 
in terms of viewing/downloading postscript files placed on the Web.
I'll give some instructions that are correct if you are running 
netscape from a UNIX workstation (such as the ICGL machines).

When you click on "Hints for the Homework on Networks", netscape
will attempt to download a file to your machine.  On my machine this
file is called junk2.ps.  
The second part of the name indicates that the file is a postscript file.  
(The first part indicates what I think of the file.)

If you have the following two files in your home directory 

	.mailcap 
	.mime.types 
	
and if these files contain information about
how to display postscript files on your screen, then you will simply
get an image of the text.  If you do have these files and a screen image
has appeared it is probably true that they told netscape to run a
program called `ghostview' using junk2.ps as the input.  If this is the
case and if you want to make a printed copy, you can click on the `File'
pull-down menu and then release on the `Print...' part of the menu.  It will
ask you for the name of a printer.  I hope you know the name because I don't.
Type in the name and hit `Enter'.  The file will be printed out on the selected
printer.

If, on the other hand, you do not have the above mentioned 
files, then netscape will have no idea what to do with a .ps file and
therefore will simply download it to your current working directory.
In this case, you can still either view it on your screen or send it to 
a printer but you have to explicitly type in the appropriate command.
To view it, type

	ghostview junk2.ps

To print it, type

	lpr junk2.ps

If you would like to have a .mailcap and a .mime.types file in your home
directory, you can copy mine by typing

	cp ~vanderby/.mailcap ~vanderby/.mime.types $HOME

These instructions are of general usefulness.  You should save this email
message for future reference if you are too busy to think about it now.
