This module works wonderfully, except that it requires people to
redefine showpage in their .postscript file. Since this is not a
very intuitive thing to do, here is a patch to main.c that will
do the redefinition automatically. Apply the patch, and recom-
pile main.c with the -DPSTOOL flag (the patch is #ifdef'ed, be-
cause the redefinition of showpage is usually not required).
I hope you find this useful.

I take back what I said about this module working wonderfully - it doesn't! At the time I had only tested it with some psdit (ditroff <-> postscript) output, and it appeared to work, includ- ing the cute icon with a blank scroll that gets written to when the first page is processed. I later tried it with some of the demos that come with the package, and none of the worked! Since then, I have junked the new version and reverted to the old one. It might mess up with my screen, but it is more functional than the new version (not to mention that it is about 400K smaller)! Oh, well! At least the showpage patch worked!
