I finally bit the bullet and got rid of my Windows 98 SE operating system, replaced the drive with a RAID mirror pair of 500 Gbyte drives, added 2 Gbytes of memory, and installed Ubuntu Linux.
I feel like the outcast who came out of the cold dark winter into the summer sunshine. :-) On my old setup, I was using groff running in a bash shell as part of the cygwin package, and got the shareware PostScript viewer "GSView" which I really like for several reasons. However, when I loaded Ubuntu, the closest I could get is the freeware KDE product "KGhostView" which displays just fine, but leaves three problems: 1. Every time I reload the PS file, it resets to page 1 instead of automatically detecting the file being changed and reloading automatically (I *really* like that feature). 2. It doesn't display the page number in the lower border of the program window ("Page n of x"). 3. The nifty counter in the bottom border that shows the x,y coordinates of the cursor on the PostScript page is missing and I need that feature so I can check dimensions and locations when doing page design and layout work (saves printing a lot of paper). In searching on GSView, I get some garbage web sites that claim to "crack" the program, but I haven't encountered a definitive indication of whether GSView is available for Ubuntu. Ubuntu's Add/Remove software function doesn't know about it, and it's always nice to be able to use that function because it is so effortless and clean, in comparison with dowloading product packages and installing them manually. Anyone on the list using GSView on Linux? If that isn't available, I'll have to fire up my Windows XP machine (YUK!) and get GSView installed on it... Thanks, Clarke
