- We have been forwarding all legitimate complaints and bug reports about
- xpsview to Adobe Systems. I am not able to reproduce what you describe.
- I am using the Version 1.2.1 of xpsview on a PI that runs IRIX 4.0.5A.
- Which versions of xpsview and IRIX do you have? xpsview displays its
- version number in the title of its main window.
-
- You may have specified some resources for the X Window System that cause
- xpsview to behave that way, or you have a complex PS file that requires
- a lot of memory. Could you please logout, login as guest, and try to
- reproduce the problem with xpsview. In other words, try to use an account
- that has not been customized (that uses default resource values).
-
- xpsview may have problems redrawing an image when it displays a message that
- it does not have enough memory to process a PS file. In that case, you
- should use the option -maxp on an xpsview command line to increase the
- maximum number of bytes that can be allocated for a pixmap. That option is
- described in the man page for xpsview.
-
- Are you having problems with all PS files you display, or only with a
- particular PS file? If you are having problems with a particular PS file
- and that file does not contain any confidential or proprietary information,
- please send it to me by e-mail. If I can reproduce the problem you reported,
- I'll forward your PS file to Adobe.
