                      4:        the default settings of the site.h  and Makefile do not use spooling.

                     17:        - This will make the previewer `impv' and install it in /usr/local
                     18:                make install-man
                     19:        - This will put ximpv.1 in  the /usr/man/man1 directory.

                     25:          test.man.data in this directory.  The key pad and controls
                     26:          for ximpv should work as described in the man page.
                     27: 
                     28:                ximpv test.eqn.data 
                     29:        - This should cause ximpv to show you a page of equations.

                     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
