Re: Xdvi: shell-command specials don't work.

[Tomas G. Rokicki]

I think that, it may actually be possible to support them if they fit
some really simple grammar of how they are used, or else automatic
conversion . . . that is, config.ps could say something like

allow command jpg2eps %f -

where %f means file name with no shell metacharacters or spaces or some
such.

But this obviously gets convoluted.

What we really want is something like the standard mime content handlers.
