[comp.lang.postscript] Carriage return needed after "showpage" in XPS

plai@ms.uky.edu (Paul Chun Ko Lai) (03/17/89)

Hello all:

I'm trying to get a front-end to XPS made so that I can do interactive
graphics.  I'm currently running Crispin Goswell's postscript interpreter
with the CMU patches on a Berkely Unix environment and under X11R3.

The problem is that xps seems to require a carraige return after each
execution of the "showpage" command.  The return must be from the
keyboard.  If I send the carriage return to the stdin of xps, it's ignored.
If the front-end reads the carriage return, then XPS doesn't recognize it.

Anyone else have this problem?  Any solutions or suggestions?

Thanks.
