Some links simply point to other ".html" files which
your WEB Browser can immediately display. Your Browser should
also be able to display other formats such as image files in
".jpg" of ".gif". Some documents here are
in Postscript, the format used by Postscript Printers. These
files will have the extension ".ps" and you have a
couple of options for reading and printing them. The files can
be saved, either in your account on physics, or on your own computer
if you are working from home. It is then possible to print them
directly on a Postscript printer. For instance, on Physics you
can print a hardcopy of a ".ps" file by typing the
Unix command "lpr filename.ps". Alternatively, you
can open the file using the program Ghostview,
or even have your browser configured so that it automatically
opens ".ps" files with Ghostview. Another common format
is Adobe's .pdf format, for which you need the Adobe
Acrobat Reader. Just click on either of these sites if
you want to download these free pieces of software for your computer.
