Things are fine --- You can front-to-back to your heart's content, no fireworks. But then simply "uninterlace" one of the preview screens (TeX previewer is so nice it lets you switch between non-interlaced and interlaced screen on the fly), front-to-back to WB, and front-to-back to an interlaced preview, and BLAM! The system can handle many interlaced screens, so the fact that it can't handle 2 interlaced and one not seems to be a silly bug (Dale? Jim?) rather than some SYSTEM LIMITATION. (Imagine the TV ads: You can open upto ONE noninterlaced and TWO interlaced screens at once! 6 simultaneous tasks! 4 windows on desktop! 40 directories per volume! Amiga, the machine with the unreachable limits!) [Aren't we glad this is not the case. 8-) ] Ali Ozer, ali@rocky.stanford.edu
