In addition to the example [see next posting, I'm not able to reach you via
email for some reason] (which would produce an error just after drawing
the final pyramid), I could not get the included TeX example PHR1 to work.
Not even run for a bit then stop. Also, BOOK0 exits with an error message
(I know BOOK0 is a trivial example, but it does generate a message).

The version I have is what is currently (as of a couple weeks ago) ftp'able
from sun.soe.clarkson.edu [Thank you, R. Nelson]. Is it version 1.0 ?
The Version Number heading at start-up disappears so quickly, I can't read it.

The example with the rotating colored bars only would work after I ditched
both ANSI and NANSI before attempting to view it. Leaving either installed
creates black text on a black text background, all on top of a bright white
plane after GS runs once.

I haven't used the thing now for about a week and a half, so if I'm sounding
too fuzzy for good troubleshooting, then I'll be happy to run specific tests
under your direction.
