RE: Viewing imported EPS files ....

["Ridder, Fred" <Fred.Ridder@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On Windows, the issue is whether or not the EPS file was created
with a bitmap preview image that is in a format that Windows can
handle (e.g. not a PICT preview from a Macintosh). But I don't know
if that has any relevance to your situation because you're dealing
with a server that probably ignores any preview image because
it knows that it can display the PostScript image directly. 

My opinions only; I don't speak for Dialogic or Intel...

Hi!

We are currenly migrating from SGI/IRIX desktops to Linux (currently
SuSE 7.0) on Intel PCs.

Since there is no Framemaker for Linux available for the moment users
are running frame on an SGI/IRIX server displaying on the Linux system.
This works ok for most document editing, but when an eps file has been
imported into the document, the image is not visible. This is in
contract with using frame directly on an SGI/IRIX desktop, since the SGI
X server has Display Postscript extensions and displays the image.

I've been told that the Windows implementation of Frame suffers from the
same problem - is this true?

Does anyone have any ideas on hwo we can fix this? Would using a
different format from EPS help?

Any suggestions would be gratefully receieved, otherwise I'm not going
to be evry popular when we have moved all our users onto Linux....

Thanks!

Richard
