I have version 2.1 of the LaserJet+ DVI drivers from Beebe at Utah,
and am trying to compile them under XENIX V/386 2.3.1 OS and 2.2
development system. It will compile without problems, but when I try
to run it, it dumps core at various places. The first problem was in
calling strid2(). When I moved that from the strid2.h include file to
dvifile.h where it was called, that problem vanished. Now it dumps
core on other string handling routines. I was just wondering if
someone had patches to get these drivers running under XENIX, or if I
was missing something obvious. Thanks as always.

Speaking of dvi drivers . . .
Can anyone tell me if the following exist and if so how to get them:
(1) A dvi driver to run on UNIX and drive an imagen that uses the
packed (pk) form of the fonts (using a directory structure
compatible with a dvi-->ps driver that uses the same fonts);
(2) A native Macintosh dvi driver that generates output for an
imagewriter.
I suspect that the answer to (2) is still no.
Thanks,
Walter

The system includes a PostScript driver as well, but it is not as good as Rokicki's dvips 4.0. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
