Dear Joerg, Let's see now... I've got a bunch of questions concerning iv, life and everything... 42, of course. code like ( Hbox(...), ); ... gets a nice compiler (parser) error from g++ And so it should. Unfortunately, AT&T C++ blithely ignores the bogus comma. Several of them (a by-product of cut-and-paste editing) snuck past in earlier versions of the tutorials. Sorry. found some TeX docs and some postscript tutorials tut1.ps, tut2.ps which our QMS Laser doesn't like to print If you could finger just what construct our dvi2ps is generating that's causing your printer grief, then many others would thank you. Lots have reported this same problem. Is there a newer release of iv available? We are now in 3.0-beta release. You can ftp all the latest goodies from interviews.stanford.edu (36.22.0.175). -- Paul Calder Computer Systems Lab Stanford University calder@lurch.stanford.edu

Dear InterView(er)s, I'm a brandnew member of the InterViews family. And I've got a bunch of questions concerning iv, life and everything... Maybe some kind soul out there will answer some of them, or point me to an ftp'able solution on a site (iv@somewhere). * I installed iv-2.6 from our local ftp-server on my system (sun4) using g++ 1.37.1 * I ran into problems even compiling the tutorials (t0-t9) which include some code like: ( ... Hbox(...), ); ^ this gets a nice compiler (parser) error from g++ I think g++ is right on this, but I cannot understand, why there seem to be errors like this, in an official distribution. (Does the AT&T C++ compile this right?) Any idea? * while on the interviews-server (iv@stanford.edu) a found some TeX docs and some postscript tutorials tut1.ps, tut2.ps which our QMS Laser doesn't like to print (he's just busy thinking some time, then gets fed up and finally forgets about it). Does anybody have an idea why? * Are there some proper tutorials available? * Is there a newer release of iv available? * when pressing the ifb QUIT-Button the application dumps core: GDB 3.5, Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
