I've not been very successful in getting Goswell's Xps to preview documents. The Postscript file generated from TeX DVI files by dvi2ps and from Ditroff files by the Transcript psdit program both cause it to choke, although in different ways. Is anyone using Xps successfully for TeX or Ditroff previewing? Is there some trick? Micah Beck Cornell Dept of Computer Science beck@svax.cs.cornell.edu
