Crispin Goswell's PostScript interpreter is available from the various comp.sources.unix archives. The ones I know of are: j.cc.purdue.edu, news/comp/sources/unix/volume12, v12i050.Z through v12i067.Z uunet.uu.net, comp.sources.unix/volume12/postscript, part01.Z through part18.Z There are a number of bug fixes and improvements available via anonymous ftp to z.andrew.cmu.edu (128.2.30.8) in the subdirectory psdiffs. The patches should be applied to an unpacked virgin distribution. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH FILE BEFORE APPLYING THEM WITH PATCH. These patches do not include the change to make it compile on an RT. I refuse to put kludges for broken compilers into my copy of the source. -- _.John G.

Crispin Goswell's PostScript interpreter is available from the various comp.sources.unix archives. There are a number of bug fixes and improvements available via anonymous ftp to z.andrew.cmu.edu .... Thanks for posting the xps information. I got the source from the archives, applied the CMU patches, and built "xps" without a hitch. And it mostly works. However, there is one very annoying problem: when I type a "quit" after xps finishes displaying a file, my X server sometimes terminates. I have seen this occur with the tree.ps demo file, among others. Neither the server nor xps leaves a core file around, so I can't really tell what went wrong. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there a fix available? I am running X11R3 with fixes1-3 and the Purdue-speedups (but not Purdue+), compiled with "cc -O" under SunOS 3.5. The server is running under xdmshell on a Sun 3/50, while xps is running remotely on a Sun 3/180.
