I have been able to extract these but for the benefit of novices like myself would someone please advise on the simplest way to view, print and modify them.
View: load it in gv, or kghostview, or gnome-gv. GSPdf seems to need them decompressing, which surprised me. I'll fix that when I get chance.
Thanks - I had simply assumed that I'd need to decompress them first. Both gv and GhostView display them correctly, KGhostView has problems (the UK map, title and first line are missing leaving the penguin sitting over the word Syleham).
Print: probably can print it from the above tools, or from the command line (if an lpr-type printer program is around) use: zcat file.ps.gz | lpr
Yes, that's fine. Even KGhostView prints it correctly although the screen display is incorrect.
