Well, I don't know what constitutes bona fide color extensions in
postscript but we use the setrgbcolor operator.  Works fine on text and
misc. paths.

Did you check the /usr/adm/SYSLOG for the error message?

BTW. psview, although not perfect, has been a valued tool for me as a
research scientist for text and data display (hey, real life is stranger
than fiction).  I *really* hope it doesn't go away with the move to X/DP in
IRIX 4.0.  Just my $0.02.

	Thanks.
