me? stress? no, I made the rpm only because I wanted it myself. After installing the fltk headers (and fltk, I don't have anything else using it) and typing make, I had a working flpsed executable in about 15 seconds. The rpm was boilerplate. > Click on .pdf document (as Yuri...from IRD) 'Open With'..'flpsed'... You can't do that, this causes flpsed to expect to read a postscript file. The only way to read a pdf into flpsed is to start flpsed first, then to import it from the file menu. Works flawlessly. Well with the pdf I tried, which I think was a ir282.pdf - the first form I came across to test it out with. > Ps. I would really have liked to have been at the CLUG meet on Tuesday to > have > seen the presentation on flpsed You didn't miss much. <dig> The most time was wasted^H^H^H^H^Hspent because Chris didn't have the latest flpsed, and on him to (not) find out how to view a postscript file <em>pathetic</em>. </dig> Sorry, couldn't resist... ;)) Things to keep in mind: Load/save does only do postscript. Calling flpsed with a file on the command line is equivalent to load. Export/import only does pdf. You must have ghostscript and xpdf installed. Dunno what happens if either barf on your pdf/ps. Remember that pdf always uses a ps intermediate - in both directions, so implicit conversions happen on the fly. If they bomb, well tough turd. When editing existing text, you must click close to the beginning of the text string, not anywhere on the text string. While editing a text string, the cursor keys will fine position it. This is a mega-cool function! There's no help and no man page.
