Subject: xdvik-18e
I note that xdvik doesn't seem to implement the dvips colours
(though there is colour code in xdvi).
It looks to me as if the color code in xdvi is just there to handle
background/foreground/etc. specifications, not actually changing the
color in the text.
Maybe someone would like to volunteer to implement the dvips `color'
special for xdvi -- have to have augment the X11 color database somehow,
for one thing, since `Apricot' (for example) is not defined there. And
then of course you have to actually change the color is X drawing in and
keep a color stack. (Or so I guess from the way the specials look.)
If you're interested, drop me a note and go for it.
(I can send you John's example .dvi etc. files, if you need them.)
