However I don't know how to open the file! Usually they are adobe acrobat, but it doesn't work. THE *.ps filetype made me install photoshop and try it. It opens, but only 1 page, not all 9 pages. And the background is kinda screwed up (I do'nt know how to use photoshop either).
Can someone help me with this??? thanks!!

That's a postscript file...
use one of the linux terminals to view it...
or search for a postscript reader for windows... (try word.. I believe you have the option of installing a postscript conversion...)
Can someone convert it to word or adobe pdf or something?
I tried opening the file with word but I don't know how to get it to work...i hate computers!

On the unix machines you can view the file on a windows you'll need ghost or adobe distiller.
SZW: Send me your addy.
Just read the file....
Damn you get have code written for you? :rofl: You eng's have it so easy :poosie:
Well I'm downloading a ghostview or something like that right now. Taking forever though! Thanks anyway, I think I can view it with this.
Yeah compared to comsci its pretty easy stuff, I hate it though!

Ok, I have it converted already in pdf so give me a shout if you want it.
It's not that bad - you'll get a better scope once you start / hate the low level architecture

You could've just ftp'ed it to your Unix account and typed:
"ps2pdf fall2000.ps fall2000.pdf" and it would've converted it for you....
I wish my exams were this easy.... :banghead:
