I've tested this with xpdf.real and it works.
Yes, this seems to work (I've tested various functions, such as print, reload and save as). For "reload", I suppose that's fine because xpdf closes the old fd after re-opening the file (let's hope this doesn't change in the future). The only difference I could see is that "Open" starts with the /dev/fd directory instead of $TMPDIR, but I don't think this is a problem, as $TMPDIR wasn't the directory containing the compressed file anyway. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
