[comp.windows.x] PostScript Previewer in X??

rgcote@mit-vax.LCS.MIT.EDU (Rob Cote) (09/08/88)

Does anyone know of the existence of a PostScript previewer along
the lines of xdvi? Is there some fundamental difference between
PostScript and DVI which makes a previewer difficult to implement?
Please email any responses. If something interesting results, I
will post to the net.

P.S. Email to rgcote@koppel.lcs.mit.edu or vx.arpa or mit-vax.uucp

and none of this of course will stand when I stand before the man on that great
day of the great divide when all the kings and queens will have their closets
emptied and the bones them bones them dry bones will not fail dead men will 
tell tales and you can laugh I can laugh we can laugh but its not funny -the 77s

Yes, the original xps has been added to expo, it has the xps speedups
that are available from expo already included.  They help some, but
