I'm having a problem using Preview to display a ps file.
The ps is the output of dvi2ps which contains a MacDraw file
(And the necessary header). The file was generated on a DEC3100.
I am able to preview this file using the program dxpsview on a
DEC3100, but Preview just prints out a blank page.
Interestingly enough, YAP will almost print the same file.
(Yap would work, but it appears tht YAP doesn't know about pages, and
therefore overlays all of the pages at once.)
Why is it possbile for YAP to display this file, while Preview
gets confused?
Is there anyway to print multiple files on the NeXT? It seems that I
have to open each file, and then do a print command. Since some of the
documents consist of many files, I would like to just be able to select
all of the files I would like to print at one time, and have the print
command (on the workspace menu) open all of the files and issue the print
command to each file. Same holds true for the Librarian.
Is there any way to have the Librarian go though each of the chapters of
a document in sequential order?
Thanks for any help,
Andrew

Have you tried transferring the dvi-file and using TeXview? There are some differences between dvi2ps and dvips (in my case the latter works and the former dies). I have been printing to a LaserjetIIP, and it seems to choke if you feed it too much at once. For printing multiple files use lpr from a shell. Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.

Fist open the nth file, then pump a number of events to the app that will open up the document (NXJournaler) such that the document is printed....

you might want to try 'open -p' before you go to all this effort...
