Version 0.8 beta 1993-07-07
----------------------------
DSC file is now closed after each page is displayed.
The file is reopened just before the next page is displayed and
if the file length or date stamp have changed, gswin is killed
and the file rescanned. Version 0.7 kept DSC files open which
caused problems if another program changed the file.
Documented that gsview produces TIFF 5.0 Class B images.
Added a menu option for creating a TIFF 4.0 preview for
Word Perfect 5.1 which requires a narrow minded interpretation
of the TIFF 4.0 specification.
Moved imitation pipe code to a separate module.
Changed implementation of imitation pipe. Instead of creating
many temporary files, gsview now keeps a single read/write file open.
When gsview writes to the imitation pipe the data is written to this file.
When the pipe is flushed gsview reads the file and passes it to gswin
in global memory blocks. When gswin asks for data and there is no more
to give, gsview resets the file.
If a file is specified on the gsview command line do not use the
saved directory. If a path to the file is given, use it as the
current directory, otherwise use the gsview working directory.
To stop documents that change the paper size from interfering with
gsview's orientation commands, gsview now adds paper size commands
(e.g. letter, a4) to the userdict to replace those in the systemdict.
