9944.0. "CDA Viewer with postscript X CDE" by VAXRIO::CSANTOS () Mon May 26 1997 16:45

    
    
    	Hi,
    
    	
    	We have a customer that upgraded form 3.2 to 4.0B.  He was used to
    	use CDA Viewer to view postscript files.  When trying to do it now
    	(from the console) it receives the message that the server does 
    	not support postscript...  Version 3.2 used Motif and now he
    	is using CDE, does CDE supports postscript viewing???  If no, what
    	should customer use??
    
    
    				Thanks in advance

	My preferred method for viewing postscript files is showps. It has many advantages over dxvdoc. Although dxvdoc ought to work. It does on my 4.0B system. In any case it is not a problem or property of Motif or CDE but of the X-Server. So there seems to be a problem with it. Do a xdpyinfo and look for the extensions section. It should say something about DPS-Extension. If not, where is it??? Hartmut
