DESCRIPTION
Psi reads postscript input from file or from standard input
and simulates the resulting pages in an 8½(1) window. The
options are
-pn Display page n.
-r Display the image at full scale, with the bottom
left corner positioned at the bottom left corner of
the window. (By default, the image is scaled to fit
the window, maintaining the aspect ratio of a
printer.)
-a x y Display the image at full scale with position x,y of
the image placed at the bottom left corner of the
window.
Fonts are implemented with size-24 bitmap fonts. Available
fonts are Symbol, Times-Roman, Times-Italic, Times-Bold,
Helvetica, Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica-Bold.
When the `cherries' icon is displayed, use mouse button 3 to
move forward (more) or quit (done). Button 2 exits the pro-
gram completely.
