Articles are made available for downloading in several formats.
Postscript is a page description language invented by Adobe. Usually, postscript files cannot be viewed directly. Many laser printers understand postscript. You will have to download the postscript file to your postscript printer. Ask a computer guru if you are not sure how to do this.
There are two possibilities.
1) If you have all TeX fonts (computer modern fonts etc.) installed in your system, then it is sufficient to download the much smaller file without fonts.
2) For those who don't have TeX, I have included postscript files including all the font-information. They are much larger (all about 1 MB) and probably it is painfully slow to download them from outside Austria. But you will be able to print these files on your postscript printer, even if your systems contains no TeX fonts.
Attention: All the postscript files are prepared for the page format US-Letter, but they will look fine on A4-paper. However, some printers won't print the US-Letter format if they are loaded with A4-paper.
This is a document format for distributing computer-generated documents with their original look and feel intact - on every computer platform (Mac, Windows, Unix). Thus it is ideal for publishing texts with lots of mathematical formulas and special characters and fonts. Reading documents in pdf-format requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader which is available free of charge from Adobe. With the Acrobat Reader you can view, navigate and print PDF files on all major computer platforms. The original formatting will be preserved and all fonts used in the document will appear correctly (on screen and in print), even if you don't have installed these fonts on your computer. If you have Acrobat 3.0 your internet browser can be configured to display pdf-files directly in your browser window. Check out the Acrobat home page in order to learn more about the Adobe Acrobat software and the pdf-format.
For some of the articles written in TeX, I have provided the TeX-source. You will need a correctly installed TeX-typesetting system on your computer, if you want to process these files.
The TeX system allows to export documents in a dvi (device-independent) format, which can be viewed and printed on all computers with the TeX program installed (-at least in theory).
