I've been trying to use pageview to display b&w and color postscript files generated by Island Write. Whenever I generate a document greater than one page in length, pageview displays all the pages at once. I'd like to find another postscript viewer to determine if it's pageview or Island that is the problem. Or find someone who has seen this problem before and possibly knows of a solution. If you know what the problem is, or can point me in the direction of an FTP site with a postscript viewer, please send me e-mail at the address below. Thanks. Steve.

Thanks. > > Steve. pageview suffers from quite a few problems although we've never run into this one. If anybody knows of any commercial quality postscript viewers, please post. Steve: You might have a look at ghostscript, a GNU tool available from lots of places. It isn't exactly commercial quality but it may solve your problem (it isn't stable enough to solve ours). > > CCCC CCCC IIII Stephen Zehl Internet: sz@cci.com >CC CC II Computer Consoles. Inc.

pageview relies upon the Adobe document structuring conventions rather than the showpage commands in order to separate pages from each other. Otherwise, they could not render the last page without first rendering all the intermediate pages. You need document structuring level 2.0, which is a shame since some programs produce level 1.

PageView is quite picky when it comes to structured PostScript comments. I don't recall the details, but someone out there knows, since this has come up before. Might even be a FAQ by now?
