(it's a mini PostScript interpreter!) I found that I needed to apply the fix to source code when building GoodNeWS1.2 for a SUN3/60 under OS4.0. In an unrelated area, dvinews failed trying to display the goodnews.dvi file distributed with the system. After building a number of fonts, it dies because it can't find the Cmr10.ff font file. Can anyone explain this?
