When something has been printed to a PostScript file, the most
profitable tool for producing previews and making printouts (without a
PostScript printer) is the /GS-PDF sucro.
At first the document is printed to a PostScript file, say PRINT.PS, by
PRINT <first_line>,<last_line> TO PRINT.PS
and then the preview and the printout is obtained by the command
/GS-PDF PRINT.PS
/GS-PDF <name>.PS <name>.PDF
converts a PS file to a corresponding PDF file by using the Ghostscript
program and shows the PDF file by the Adobe Acrobat Reader program.
Then the printout on paper is produced by Acrobat Reader on any
Windows printer.
The freeware programs Ghostscript and Acrobat Reader do not belong to
SURVO MM. They must be downloaded from the net.

Getting Ghostscript program
The latest version of Ghostscript (either a 32-bit or a 64-bit version)
can be loaded as a self-extracting EXE file from the net.
When installing it please use default settings.
When /GS-PDF is activated for the first time Survo locates it and saves
the location of Gswin32.exe or Gswin64.exe as a text file
<Survo>\U\SYS\GSPATH.SYS
Thereafter Ghostscript is found according to information in GSPATH.SYS.
