   I'm having a problem using Preview to display a ps file.
The ps is the output of dvi2ps which contains a MacDraw file 
(And the necessary header).  The file was generated on a DEC3100.
I am able to preview this file using the program dxpsview on a 
DEC3100, but Preview just prints out a blank page.
    Interestingly enough, YAP will almost print the same file.
(Yap would work, but it appears tht YAP doesn't know about pages, and
therefore overlays all of the pages at once.)
    Why is it possbile for YAP to display this file, while Preview
gets confused?

    Is there anyway to print multiple files on the NeXT?  It seems that I
have to open each file, and then do a print command.  Since some of the
documents consist of many files, I would like to just be able to select
all of the files I would like to print at one time, and have the print
command (on the workspace menu) open all of the files and issue the print
command to each file.  Same holds true for the Librarian.

Is there any way to have the Librarian go though each of the chapters of
a document in sequential order?


Thanks for any help,

Andrew
