Last I was at the forum in Norwich, people seemed to like the small meeting notices, so I've turned them into templates, plugged them into a script and produced ones for the other venues: http://www.alug.org.uk/meetings/cards.ps.php?loc=NCH for Norwich http://www.alug.org.uk/meetings/cards.ps.php?loc=MID for Syleham
They look good!
1. 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.
I have tried various apps (Ark, GhostView, KGhostView) with varying degrees of success. I have managed to print but, as above, would like to know more. I am using KDE but happy to use the command line.
2. Does gzip always remove the source archive when extracting? I checked 'man gzip' but could not see an appropriate switch but it is a bit early in the morning.
3. Can .ps files be easily edited?
If not then perhaps there is a case for making these files available in something like an OpenOffice.org writer format which is increasingly-widely available - no idea if it is an open or proprietary format though.
Waiting to have the error of my ways explained to me, as ever :-)
