        !            25:          test.man.data in this directory.  The key pad and controls
        !            26:          for ximpv should work as described in the man page.
        !            27:

        !            34:        work with a VAX station. If the XWIND flag is not used this 
        !            35:        software is designed to work on an Sun workstation.
        !            36:        -the COLOR flag is needed to include the color slide option. 
        !            37:        It is incompatible with the XWIND (even the color versions).
        !            38:        Leaving it out does nothing to improve speed but decreases the
        !            39:        code size by a small amount. It is not intended for the XWIND.
        !            40:        -the NOSPOOL flag is for use if the spooling directories described
        !            41:         above are not in use.  You may wish to rcp a file that is the product
        !            42:         of dimp to the preview workstation and then preview it directly.
        !            43:        -the IMAGEN300 flag is for used with files aimed at the imagen300 
        !            44:         printer.
