- I use pageview on a sparcstation and have found that many postscript files,
- particularly those that originate from PC or Mac worlds (esp WordPerfect
- I think) display without error, but all the pages are piled on top of
- each other as one signal very black page !
-
- I had hoped that this behaviour would have disappeared moving from OW2
- to OW3 but sadly it persists ....
-
- Now I am sure that Sun will say that the postscript files that are a
- problem are non-standard or something .... that's all very well but
- they print out ok on an Apple LaserWriter.
-
- I am sure others have come up with this problem ... is there a simple
- filter to get around it ? I perused the code of a "good" and a "bad"
- example and quickly discovered that everything is buried in a morass
- of macros that seems impossible for a non-Postscript-speaking person
- like myself to unravel.
-
- Does anyone have a simple answer ?
