(I doesn't > seem to offer checksums. Oh yes it just has done. On the download page: MD5 checksums: iview427_setup.exe - b2f4f43f8fb8110c82a60e3793922912 iview427.zip - afc61deed0da83b0b84d4b4194a025f8 iview427g_setup.exe - a7f5fc23f4c798a1eef1bc1c9bae93c9 iview427g.zip - 4eeaea387d636be890faebd9bfe854f8 > It takes you to a cnet site and the offer to > download :iview427-setupexe.

(that's what `intuitive enough' translates to here; I need a manual.

I don't know if experimentation is the right word. Playing, perhaps? I don't expect to be able to learn enough to experiment. > Recently a client sent me an EPS file for convertion to web use - > nothing on my Macs would touch it (although these are limited yet.) <puzzled> Ghostscript should deal with it perfectly well. > Nor > would anything commercial on my WinXP and Vista boxes - full Adobe CS3 > web suite including AI, Fireworks etc. - and an earlier suite with > Freehand.

If *Adobe* software's not happy with it, one has to suspect a mangled EPS.

Not really - not for what it does. I guess from your posts you have used a great deal of software over the years so won't find it difficult. > > I rather think so - not sure what effect that sort of thing would have > given that WineBottler will be involved... Can't speak for that - I must try WineBottler on something - there is some windows software I sometimes miss - especially for existing old data files. How easy is t to use and does it handle a lot of Windows stuff? I know nothig about it but will follow the link you gave. > > > Recently a client sent me an EPS file for convertion to web use - > > nothing on my Macs would touch it (although these are limited yet.) > > <puzzled> Ghostscript should deal with it perfectly well. > > > Nor > > would anything commercial on my WinXP and Vista boxes - full Adobe CS3 > > web suite including AI, Fireworks etc. - and an earlier suite with > > Freehand. > > Now that's odd.

If *Adobe* software's > not happy with it, one has to suspect a mangled EPS. I agree - in fact something I tried put up a warning to that effect. It's in circumstances of last resort that I like Irfan - not familiar enough with Macs yet to know of similar solutions. That job is done now and the errant EPS gone. (My client's office guru - enthusiastic young lad with a collection of dubious software was confident he could open it and failed.) -- duncank |
