Does anyone have a Postscript Previewer for suntools? There is an old old copy of ups hanging around here but it expired last year (its version 0.2). If anyone has a more up to date version or a better tool could they mail me with info please. [I'd rather not have to use NeWS as it means changing enviroments] [each time I want to see the result. ] Thanks. Jon.

They have been on the net before, but I have been unable to locate one at any of the UUCP or archive sites I know about. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, there is a postscript previewer called postscript which runs
under X10 and X11. It is available from the comp.sources.unix
archives as volume 12 issues 50 through 67 (18 files in all). This
can be obtained from your favorite archive site (j.cc.purdue.edu or
uunet.uu.net for ftp people).
Below is the patch file to make those sources (which come for X10) run
under X11.
Hope this helps.
==================== X11 patches ====================
#!/bin/sh
#
# This is the source for my X11 interface to the postscript previewer.
# This source did get posted, but not to comp.sources.unix; it ended up
# in (I believe) comp.sources.bugs. Anyway, here it is, along with the
# makefile I use (which you'll probably have to modify somewhat).

Buy Sun's NeWS for $100. It's a separate window system built around the PostScript language and imaging model. At a minimum, previewing PostScript consists of creating a window and directing PostScript to it. I wrote the original psview (no flames please!) in a day, and the source to it and other programs is provided. NeWS' PostScript implementation is good enough to preview most code you write; previewing machine-generated PostScript sometimes requires editing %%Prolog sections. NeWS doesn't run *under* SunView, it's another window system. But you can run NeWS *over* SunView using `overview`(1), or run SunView tools on top of the NeWS desktop. And if you have a multiple plane group display machine such as a 3/60 or 4/110, you can set up to run both "side-by-side" on the same monitor using `adjacentscreens`(1). (Some day X11/NeWS/View2 will co-exist fully.) See comp.windows.news for more information on NeWS. You could save a lot of paper by typing "executive" to a window system instead of a printer! =S Page, GO Corporation

Depending on your system you will need one of the files FILES SIZE ghostscript-2.1.1.tar.Z 606899 (source code for all systems) ghostscript-2.1fonts.tar.Z 1245001 (fonts for all systems) ghostscript-2.1msdos.exe 249582 (executable for MS-DOS, rename to gs.exe when downloaded) ghostscript-2.1paintjet.tar.Z 29679 (source code for paintjet printer) You must have an executable and the fonts. The source in C includes makefiles for most systems. Give it a try. dcroyster --------------------------------------------------------------------------- David C. Royster currently dcr5w@virginia.edu
