[comp.windows.news] Looking for better psview

roy@phri.UUCP (Roy Smith) (11/05/88)

	Does anybody know of a version of psview which allows you to use a
page size other than 8.5 x 11?  Just being able to do landscape mode would
be nice, but it would be even nicer to be able to specify an arbitrary page
size.  This doesn't seem like it should be too hard to do.

	Another nice thing would be the ability to zoom in to a particular
area on the screen, perhaps with scroll bars.  Yet another feature which I
think would be nice would be the ability to have a double-spread page; two
windows right next to each other with page N in the left-hand window and
page N+1 in the right, along with the ability to advance 2 pages at a time.
This would be really nice for proofing double-page layouts.  It would also
be nice to be able to overlay the page with a grid, either in the user
coordinate system or in absolute units (points, inches, what-have-you).

	All of these things seem like they should be fairly straight
forward to implement, so I'm hoping they already exist.
