First, convert the .PS files to PDF format using Adobe Distiller.
Then convert the PDF files to RTF using Aerial, a program obtainable from http://www.ambia.co (free evaluation copies available). You can then open
the files in any Windows or Mac word processor.

Subject: How to edit/print .ps files
Hi,
I've some .ps files which should go with a document. Since the diagrams in
.ps format are very large I want to reduce before putting it in the
document. The problem is none of the graphic applications (Visio, PSP etc.)
can open the .ps file. Is there an application in which I can open the .ps
files and resize it?
Because of the size I cannot even print these diagrams on A4 sheets. Is
there a way to print these diagrams from GhostView so that they scale/fit
to paper?
If any of my experienced friends know the answer, please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Hari
