	I finaly got XPS (Crispin Goswell's postscript previewer) to work
successfuly on an IBM RT/PC. Sorry I do not have a context diff, I don't
have room to keep the originals.

	First of all use hc1.4 with the -O option. hc1.4 is included
on AOS R2 if you have AOS R1 use hc. You need to change the variable
"signed" in integer.c, I called it isigned. Make sure Malloc calls
malloc in save.c, do not use the small_buff. Finaly make the following change
to "mat.h":

Change:

	typedef struct vector {float vx, vy, vt;} Vector;

To:

	typedef struct vector {float vx, vy, vt, foo;} Vector;


	Changing the Vector type will allow fonts to be spaced. Why
the HC compiler likes even number of fields when returning structures
from a function I'll never know! I have not tried the speedups yet,
maybe the next week or two. I'm realy getting the hang of the HC
compiler bugs now. HC is realy a plot to sell AIX!!!!!!

Is XPS public domain/shareware? If yes, where can I get it since
/dev/null most likely won't work.

thanks in adv. rich

Crispin Goswell's PostScript interpreter is available from
the various comp.sources.unix archives.  The ones I know of are:

j.cc.purdue.edu, news/comp/sources/unix/volume12, v12i050.Z through v12i067.Z

uunet.uu.net, comp.sources.unix/volume12/postscript, part01.Z through part18.Z

There are a number of bug fixes and improvements available via
anonymous ftp to z.andrew.cmu.edu (128.2.30.8) in the subdirectory
psdiffs.  The patches should be applied to an unpacked virgin
distribution.  READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH FILE
BEFORE APPLYING THEM WITH PATCH.

These patches do not include the change to make it compile on an RT.
I refuse to put kludges for broken compilers into my copy of the
source.
