1999-04-16 Thread Peter Weiss
Hello debianers, Xdvi does not display any included eps files in the slinks version (package tetex-bin, version 0.9.981113-2). IIRC this used to work with the hamm distribution. Starting any PostScript viewer (gs/gv/ghostscript) with the eps file displays it correctly though

Hello, I installed Netscape 4.04 (in a private directory) last year and after fiddling with preferences (Edit -> preferences ->Navigator->Applications) I was able to bring up XDVI when I clicked on a .dvi file and a ghostview when I click on a .ps file. I was running RedHat 4.02

As for the problems with \special{landscape} not implemented in xdvi, I think that the answer is in the configuration of teTeX. Run texconfig and check that you have properly configured xdvi. Hope it helps -- ** Miguel A. Arranz Dpt. of Economics
