[comp.windows.news] NeWS psview and adobe filters

larsa@nada.kth.se (Lars Andersson) (06/16/88)

We have got NeWS 1.1 running on a SUN 3/60 under SUN os 3.4. 
I expected to be able to preview, using psview,
the output from transcript filters (pscat, psdit etc) intended for a laser-
writer without any change. This turned out to be too optimistic, however.

After some trouble I was able to identify the changes to the prolog file 
needed to be able to view the output from ptroff (which uses pscat). 
Actually, I would like to go on and preview the output from psdit 
(including modifications for psfig!) and so on.

So, does anyone know of a way to make psview behave more like a laserwriter?
Maybe this is a question that doesn't have an answer, but any information 
would be appreciated.
