PostGhost *displays* the current file in graphical Postscript viewer
	Command: postghost


Robert,
I have been working on the fonts and I couldn't test your new frames.
Here is my feedback.
PostGhost: no problem, it works perfectly. The only drawback appears
inside GhostView: I can navigate the file from page 1 to page N but I am
unable to go back (to the previous page, for example). In this case I
receive the following message: "No page numbering available".



Xy2PDF makes a PDF out of the current file, then displays the PDF
	Command: xy2pdf target_PDF_filename
	        No .EXTension here ^^^ (".PDF" is auto added)



It doesn't work. The following piece of code appears in the command line
and XyWrite crashes:

«SX02,«IS99»{>>}«IF«VA@652»-"W"{»»}


They need:

Ghostscript installation:
 http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ghostscript/gs815w32.exe


In my case, version 7.04.


GSView installation:
 ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/ghostgum/gsv46w32.exe


In my case, version 4.3.


Accurate d:\path\file.exe specs in XyWWWeb.REG for UserVariables
 "Ghostscript_EXE_Win32" and "GSView_Win32"
POSTGHST.PRN -- set as current PRN


Verified.


KMD.EXE -- locate in DOS PATH



Verified.


XyShell NOT required in Win32. That deprives the Win32 version of the
ability to auto-return to XyWrite when you close GSView. I may write
an external util to do this soon...


XyShell installed in my case.
Before running "XY2PDF Filename", I load your postghost prn file. Any
suggestion to continue the debugging process? Just to avoid an obvious
mistake on my part, I include the frame I am using in a zip file.

Best regards,
Manuel Castelao
