Starting in the background

If ShowDVI<#480#><#480#> has been started as a background task, no output is sent to ``stdout''. This means, that in a case of error, no error messages appear visibly (in case the ShowDVI<#481#><#481#> screen closes so fast, that you could not read the message there). Thus it is recommended not to switch off the logfile and to examine it then. The exact cause of error is listed there.

If the program crashes uncontrolled, the logfile is unfortunately not readable anymore. Then you should start it once again in the foreground to see if at least in the window an error message appears. In any case, am uncontrollable crash is something so odd, that you should contact me at once. ( :-) -TT) But please with detailed information, so that I can reproduce the error.
