Chris,
I didn't save a copy of the 1.2 executable, but both the pyramid
example (it's kind of pretty) and BOOK0 run fine in my 1.3 prototype.
Can you tell me what error message they produce?
PHR1 blows up very quickly on an "undefined: letter" error. The
problem is that it has some funky code in it that is specifically
designed for the Macintosh environment, expecting the Mac LaserPrep
file to have been loaded first. This is bad style, but I don't know
what to do about it. (PHR1 surely wouldn't run in NeWS or Display
PostScript systems, either.)
Simply running
gs <foo.ps
where foo.ps contains the single line
quit
will restore the display mode as of version 1.3. I may make this
even easier by allowing you to put a small amount of code into the
command line, e.g.,
gs "quit"
which you can then put into a script (.bat file).
I can see I'm going to want to put 1.3 out on the net very soon!
