Gotcha! > To obtain the necessary tables (which I feel should be part of DWB), > you need to obtain LPS (Laser Printer Support). This is a mere $800. > I think it would be better if SGi moved the dps_dev (Display PostScript Development System) from the IRIS Development Option (IDO) package onto the Laser Printer Support (LPS) package and in stead of the dps_dev, SGi could supply the Documenter's Workbench (DWB) with the rest of the IDO package (developers do make man-pages, don't they?). I think these would make a MUCH BETTER combination! What is the opinion of all you SGi-machine users out there ?!?! -- Best Regards, Geert Albert Smant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ing. G.A.
