I'm running Ultrix 4.0 with UWS 2.2, which supposedly has display postscript support. I have two questions: 1) What is the name of the postscript previewer that uses DPS? The dxpsview on my machine appears to use the old brute force interpreter. 2) Isn't there supposed to be a CDA viewer that will use DPS? My dxvdoc doesn't understand postscript. Thanks.

1. The UWS2.2 dxpsview does use the DPS extension. Try doing a strings on
the binary and grep'ing for DPS.
2. I don't think the DPS version of the CDA viewer has been released yet.

| 3306.2 | Hmmm...I had thought the output might be a little prettier then... | ORAN::ORAN | Dave Oran | Fri Sep 07 1990 15:44 | 13 |
I have therefore two questions:
1) is there any way to get dxpsview to scale up the output using the UI,
or do I have to hack the postscript file itself. Is this featue missing
or am I missing something in the UI?
2) I'm by no means a Unix wizard, so perhaps I'm missing something, but
I could not get dxpsview to work as the tail end of a filter. It
doesn't want to read its input from stdin. For example, I could not
get the following to work:
show -noheader 129 | dxpsview
Any ideas?

1) The sheet selection option (on the options menu) allows you to scale
and rotate documents.
2) I don't think filtering is possible. dxpsview requires random
access to the file for skipping forward and backwards, etc.

Re .3 (2): it should require that only when you actually use those features. paul | |||||
