- That's because the XStations' server doesn't have the DPS extension -- only
- the server for natively attached graphics adapters does.
- Besides working on XStations, GhostView has a much nicer user interface, too.
- "dpsexec" was only intended as a PostScript debugger -- to answer the question
- "will this PS program execute or not?". It's certainly not a full-featured
- PS document viewer.
