uh :/ in fact I have seen in the code how the interpreter 'gs' is called to render the page. And now I think that using this mechanism it will be easier for me to write a new viewwer, than modify this one. Of course it's only because I'm not the original author, so my knowledge about this code is limited very much. But I don't have enough time for that, so I'll have to stick with gv, as It's the best one I have found out there. > I found programming with X very painful, and haven't done it in quite a > few years, so unfortunately I don't have any good hints :(. > > gv is so fast, that's why I prefer it over the multitide of other > viewers.
