I'm looking for a PostScript previewer for X11R4 running under Sun SPARC. I know about xps, but I couldn't get it to work. Ideally, I would want a Motif widget that can display a PostScript file, but I'll settle for a modular piece of software running under X11R4. (Not XNeWS -- I know about OpenWindow's version of xps.) Can anybody help? Thanks in advance. Ik Su Yoo RRC 1H-229, (908) 699-5764 ik@ctt.bellcore.com

(Not XNeWS -- I know about OpenWindow's version of xps.) I haven't found a Motif widget (I'm still looking BTW), but GhostScript from prep.ai.mit.edu or tut.cis.ohio-state.edu works on the SPARC. Others couldn't get xps to work on the SPARC, either. Thanks to everyone who responded. Ik Su Yoo RRC 1H-229, (908) 699-5764 ik@ctt.bellcore.com

Check out Ghostscript. Available from prep.ai.mit.edu in pub/gnu and many
other GNU software stockists. The files you want are ghostscript-2.1.1.tar.Z
and ghostscript-2.1fonts.tar.Z.

If you are running OpenWindows, why not use pageview?
