Where is xpsview?

  When I look at a machine that has all the inst subsystems on it, it
  claims that xpsview is from the subsystem called "dps_eoe". However,
  when I run inst and look at all my CDROM's, I can't find this subsystem
  listed except on the maintenance CD (OS = 4.0.5)

  Was it left off the "update" CD and put on the maintenance CD to make 
  up for the oversight?  Or is the base version on the development CD or 
  somewhere else? I'm a bit wary of installing just the maintenance 
  version of something...

You won't, unless your system was originally purchased with 4.0.1
on it.  Contact the TAC or your sales folks for more info, this was
beat to death for weeks on end almost exactly 1 year ago on comp.sys.sgi.

You can't install the maint image if you don't have the base system.
It wasn't an oversight.
