Hello,

  I grabbed DVIpage by anonymous ftp for my Sun 3/280. It appears to be 
a nice DVI previewer for SunView. On my Sun 3/280, it appears to work
better as a DVI to core file converter. :-)

  Has anyone had this problem and solved it? Is there a version that
works under SunOS 4.0 on a Sun 3? 

  I've tried compiling it with and without coprocessor support (I have a
68882), and with and without the optimizer. I've tried it with GCC and
Sun's C compiler. It appears to be choking on the first call to
pr_rop() in the SunView PixRect library. I know very little about SunView.

  Can anyone help? Please reply by mail.

Thanks,

Ben Mesander
