- But you can print from Executor, that is, you can create a Postscript-file
- and print it on any Postscriptprinter, or you use Ghostscript, a free Post
- Script emulator, an print it on almost any printer.
- You 're right about the risk of buying software. Read Ernstout.txt for a
- solution (but I agree it's not a pretty one, and I hope your software seller
- agrees with this solution).

- Ofcourse you can use your PC to download files. Remember the 8.3 DOS
- restriction when you download files, especially when you download more than one
- at a time. There is a risk that you overwrite a previous file when the first
- 8 and last 3 characters are the same.
- When you downloaded them and got the files on your hard disk (I assume c:),
- you create a Mac volume with MAKEHFV.EXE, start Executor and copy the file
- from c: to the Mac volume. Then in most cases you have to decode the file with
- BINHEX, Stuffit expander or so.

- BTW, you can download Ghostscript from ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin,
- or take a look at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html.

- Whoops, I assumed you where using Executor for DOS. Where you?
-
- Good luck.
