Hi. I am almost ready to release Andrew on the other members of staff however before that happens I need to know whether it is possible to make an ATK application appear in reverse video? Also the question of previewing documents. I am using a program called psroff to format documents. psroff translates troff to PostScript. I have a couple of PostScript previewers however they require the user to "hit return" to go onto the next page from inside the typescript window they were invoked in (that sentence was a bit odd). This makes them inappropriate for use as a previewer unless I make use of temporary files and start up a typescript window (or something similar). Now for the question, is anyone else using psroff to format and has already discovered a preview method. If not, I will have to use the band-aid method described above and start hacking at one of the current PostScript previewers that I have access to (believe me, hack is the right word - just take one look at the code).

You can make them all appear reverse-video by putting the following in ~/preferences: *.ForegroundColor: white *.BackgroundColor: black Or - you can make certain applications behave this way, by replacing the asterisk with the applcation name - eg: ez.ForegroundColor: white ez.BackgroundColor: black --fish (sorry, can't help you about the previewer)
