Solution:
I have got some very good explanations why I could not view the answerbook in
PC X-ware, I need to get the Adobe display postscript extension in order to
view the answerbook product.
Rich From rsk@itw.com sent me to very valueble information
and I download docviewer.tar.gz from ftp.ece.uc.edu (129.137.8.99) as /pub/sun-faq/Source.
I following the direction installed it and modified the answerbook_setup file then
it worked.
The basic idea is when you are using PC X-ware as X terminal, the system use a
ghostview as a viewer, this is controled by /usr/openwin/bin/answerbook_setup
ksh script file which come with docviewer.tar.gz, you need to modify it .
Thanks for all people who sent me the e-mails, they are all give same and very
good information.
Now, I am thinking about how to handle image view in CDE under the PC X-ware
to view the postscript file, the above summary only solved answerbook viewer
(used new docviwer to replace old docviewer in /usr/openwin/bin), this is not
solve have Adobe display postscript extension in the PC X-ware.
Any good suggestions? again thanks for every one who responsed, this is a greate
group.
