Very strange; thanks, I'll try and track it down.  The
previewer now automagically detaches itself from its
parent CLI thanks to Manx 3.6a DETACH.  So you should
be able to just `preview', and everything should be
hunky-dory.  (I'm working hard on new docs at the moment.)

That darned printer.  Compatibility bugs are everywhere.  I try to
make the drivers fast through all sorts of optimizations, and then
all the compatibles break.  John Toebes has agreed to send me one of
the beasts, so I should be able to fix the problems soon.

Thanks for all the great comments, guys!  And remember, if you
have a problem with the programs, I can't fix it unless you let
me know.  Keep those cards and letters coming!
