- Per release notes, dxpsview works on DecStation 3100 and crashes on
- DecStation 5000/200. For the 5000/200 machines, you have to turn
- on the watch progress before opening a postscript file (it is also
- advisable to turn off the use comment option).
-
- Below is the setup in my .Xdefaults file which starts the dxpsview
- with proper setting (and also reflect these values in the menu bars).
- The geometry in this list is the largest dxpsview window that you can
- create which at scale factor of 0.8 shows the complete page
- (I have not been able to set the scale factor in the .Xdefaults
- file, let me know if you know how to do it).
-
- I am running Ultrix 4.2 with Motif on DecStation 5000/200.
-
- Note: You have to log off/on or run
- xrdb ~/.Xdefaults
- for the new .Xdefaults values become available.
-
-
- p.s. To Digital:
-
- Ultrix man pages for DecWindows applications (dx...) are very poor in
- identifying resources available to each application, i.e., not all
- resources are identified, some are misspelled, and there are no
- examples. Only after looking through the startup default values in
- app-defaults directory and considerable hacking, one can find the
- proper resource name and values. It is improtant to ensure that the
- man pages are up to date with the applications.
