AI Thread Summary
Users are seeking alternatives to GSView for reading PostScript files on Windows, specifically looking for features like continuous page scrolling, a hand cursor for dragging pages, and modern toolbar buttons. While Adobe Acrobat Pro meets these requirements, it is not a freeware option. The discussion highlights the need for a free solution that supports the latest GPL GhostScript version 8.63, as previous options like IrfanView are limited to older versions. The emphasis is on finding a user-friendly and feature-rich freeware alternative.

Can anyone recommend an alternative to GSView for Windows? (for reading postscript files)

Some features I'd like to see in addition to those supported by GSView are:
Continuous page scrolling
Hand cursor for dragging a page around
Non-Win3.1-like buttons on the toolbar

I've used IrfanView before, but it only supports AFPL version 8.54 of GhostScript and it was my hope to use the new 8.63 GPL GhostScript.

Thanks much,
~Matt

Adobe Acrobat Pro has all that -- but it's not freeware.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
