My experience with pageview is that it works only on (a) one-page files, or (b) files which conform to the Adobe Document Structuring conventions. It uses the structuring comments to select a single page to be imaged; without the comments, it never finds page boundaries so it overlays all the pages. This has been my experience over the past few days as well. Thanks to all who pointed out that (1) NeWS requires PostScript meeting the conventions, and (2) the Rokicki dvips program, available for anonymous ftp from neon.stanford.edu, outputs such PostScript. -- Jeremy Primer, Department of Mathematics, 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge MA 02138 primer@math.harvard.edu ...!harvard!zariski!primer primer@zariski.bitnet
