A. O., Abcm2ps is a command line program. It doesn't open like a GUI style executable. Double clicking on it in the file browser doesn't do any good. Neither does typing the name of the file on the DOS command line. You have to specify command line options telling it what file to read and how

Re: The thing I've gotten used to with ABC2win is the ability to switch between ABC and graphical out put to check what I'm doing. Is that possible with the .ps arrangement? Nope. That's the major shortcoming of this whole abc2ps scheme. Interested folks might try looking at Guido Gonzato's

I just tried opening an Out.ps file with Acrobat Reader 5.0 on the Macintosh and on Windows with no success. I think the full version of Acrobat (Distiller) can work with postscript files, but Reader cannot. [If you have Java 1.3 or better on your machine, you can use Skink as an editor/viewer

You don't say which version of Windows you are using - if it is post Win98 (i.e. ME or XP) then you won't be able to operate in DOS mode, and ABCm2ps in these circumstances needs the full command line in order to work. (i.e. after the abcm2ps you need to add the name of the file you want to
