Hi every TeX gurus. first of all could anybody tell me how to use the DVIprint program from the PasTeX 1.2a distribution. Here is the problem: each time a do dviprint -i file.dvi it answers it hasn't any memory left for printing (How much memory do we need ?) or that iffBase == NULL ! (I use the iff.libary found on ab20 these days.. v 18.x I think.) Which version of the library can it use and have you anybody any idea of why it won't continue. Note that there were 300 K left when the error occured ... second thing: Wouldn't be possible to write a dviprint program that would be printer-independant, and with the quality of GPrint (by example). I know it wouldn't be easy but it would be great to use ...

Note that >there were 300 K left when the error occured ... For iff-print DVIprint tries to allocate the bitmap of the whole page in one pice. E.g. at 300x300dpi is this about 1MB. IFFBase == NULL that's a bug :-( So in the current version is it not possible to create the iff-file. Please wait for the next version.. >second thing: Wouldn't be possible to write a dviprint program that >would be printer-independant, and with the quality of GPrint (by >example). >I know it wouldn't be easy but it would be great to use ... The next version will have this feature. DVIprint now can print via the preference-drivers, too. Please wait two ot three weeks for version 1.3. >Thanx in advance Georg. -- hessmann@unipas.fmi.uni-passau.de hessmann@unipas.uucp
