Helper applications: get a printable version of your homework

WeBWorK lets you download complete homework sets in printable (PostScript ".ps" or Adobe Acrobat ".pdf") format. Both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer need "helper" applications in order to print or display them, however.

You can get the necessary helper applications on line, for free:

PC helper apps:

• Ghostview/Ghostscript: for Windows 95 and NT, a complete package with instructions for displaying and printing PostScript.

• Adobe Acrobat Reader: for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT.  This is used for viewing documents in Adobe's Portable Document Format (.pdf).

Mac helper apps:

• MacGhostscript for both Mac powerPC's and Mac 68K machines is a complete package which will display and print postscript files.

• DropPS is a a lean, quick program for printing to PostScript-aware printers. It is freely available from www.barebones.com .

• Adobe Acrobat Reader: for the Macintosh.  This is used for viewing documents in Adobe's Portable Document Format (.pdf).

Other platform helper apps:

• OS/2 Ghostscript:  is available as pre-compiled binaries from the same site as for the Windows and Mac platforms.

• Adobe Acrobat Reader for OS/2.  Available from Adobe.  Use for viewing documents in Adobe's Portable Document Format (.pdf).

• ghostscript for UNIX/Linux.  There are 2 flavors of ghostscript that will do this.  Either the Aladdin ghostscript (from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ ) or GNU ghostscript.  For UNIX/Linux users this is the preferred application.

• Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux/UNIX. Available from Adobe's web-site.
