Has anyone gotten Xps correctly display the output of dvi2ps? It seems to be unable to handle the definefont operator. --Greg

If anyone does succeed in actually making use of xps for previewing dvi format files that have been converted to PostScript with dvi*ps please send some mail to "emo@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu". I want to hear about it... so far, it sure doesn't work for me. eric

Once the 128s and 127 in the "/@newfont" definition were changed, xps gave some other error. I believe at that point it didn't like the encoding of the fonts. At that point I lost interest in finding out what was really wrong. Hope this helps. -- UUCP: {uunet,uwvax!uwmcsd1}!marque!introl!tim Phone: +1 414 276-2937

I've seen a couple of mentions of a PostScript previewer called "xps". Is this publicly available? Does it run on Sun under 11R3? Where can I get the source?

I'm posting this for Debashis Bhattacharya (bhattach@cs.yale.edu).
Reply to him, not to me.
We obtained the 18-part sources, and the 3-part patches for xps
from uunet.uu.net. The patches were installed, and the program
compiled O. K. with or without the -O option. However, all sorts of
problems started at this point.
1. The behavior of the program is different depending on whether or
not the -O option was used. With the -O option, it runs into a "Bus
error".
2. The interpreter does not appear to understand all the postscript
statements generated by "dvi-alw". Specifically, it appears to run
into problems with bit-mapped fonts in dvi files obtained from TeX
or LaTeX sources.
3. The documentation about handling of fonts is rather scant, and
leaves one with the impression that the package can only handle
hershey fonts in its present form. Furthermore, instructions
concerning installation of other fonts for use by xps are virtually
non-existent.
I would appreciate any information/hint/helpful suggestion
that I can get. Please reply either to the address above, or to
bhattacharya@yale.arpa or to the newsgroup.klute@heike.informatik.uni-dortmund.de (Rainer Klute) (04/09/90)

Has anyone out there got xps working on a decstation 3100 running Ultrix 4.0
and X11R4? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
