I just played with it some, and the "letter" command in the /@letter routine was causing some trouble. I commented that out, and, voila, the files printed... You should note that the files I was using were generated by dvi2ps 2.00. The comments in the postscript header indicate "last modified Aug 25/85." To preview the output of dvi2ps, you really need a page-oriented previewer. (My little Yap just doesn't cut it; it's good for more interactive Postscript use.) A page-oriented previewer will probably be included in the 0.9 Demos directory. Ali Ozer, NeXT Developer Support aozer@NeXT.com >From: abe@mace.cc.purdue.edu (Vic Abell)

It is <the> superior previewer. Now before anyone jumps on me, let me qualfy that. It only works for TeX dvi files. But if TeX is what you want to work with, that is the correct way to go. It's redundant to turn TeX .dvi files into horriffic postscript with scads of downloaded fonts, and then hope that some poor little screen previewer can deal with it. None will be able to. I imagine that a deal could be struck with Berkeley... Just a suggestion... Are you listening, NeXT? >From: feldman@umd5.umd.edu (Mark Feldman)
