Subject:   -22- Why isn't Iris Insight working properly?
Date: 21 Oct 1995 00:00:01 EST

  The format for Insight's ~/.insightrc file changed in Insight 2.0. An
  ~/.insightrc left over from an older version might cause Insight to
  emit error messages or not work in various ways.  Just delete the old
  ~/.insightrc and restart Insight.

  Insight generates PostScript which says "language level" where it
  should say "languagelevel", and thus may not print on your printer.
  Pipe the PostScript to a file, change every "language level" in the
  file to "languagelevel" and print that.

  Insight doesn't understand the lpr printing system. To allow Insight
  to print to an lpr printer, you must provide an lp interface to
  it. See "How can I use 'lp' to print to an 'lpr'-controlled printer?"
  in the admin FAQ.

  Greg Ferguson's <gferg@hoop.timonium.sgi.com> list of other problems
  with Insight is at
  ftp://viz.tamu.edu/pub/sgi/software/insight-problems.  Most or all
  have probably been fixed in subsequent versions of Insight and IRIX.
