We are looking for a way to view PostScript files on Sun workstations (Sun 3s, Sun 4s, 386is and SparcStations). Is there a commercial package or PD to do this? Source available? Please reply via e-mail. Thanks.

If you complain "but I want to use SunView!" too bad. SunView is supposed to become obsolete when Sun gets XView working. It is a nearly-sunview-compatible system that runs under X, so you might as well start migrating to X now. I think you can run X from within SunView, and return to X when you are done, but I am not sure. Please let me know if you have any problems. I think XView is available from expo, but I was unable to get it working. It is only an alpha-test version, and a working version is supposed to be available later this year. I have no experience with Ghostscript, but I hope to in the near future. -David- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.
