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. Ivan Bach, ib@sgi.com
