If the DPS extension fails to start on a licensed terminal, the X server generates an error message and displays it in the Console Messages hide box. If the DPS extension fails to start because no license key has been entered, no error messages appear; the application simply does not access the DPS extension. Check Statistics -> Show Version -> Licensable Features to see if DPS is listed.
File Service Problems
DPS file service messages resemble the following examples:
%NETFILE-I-OPENATTEMPT, attempting open for /usr/lib/X11/ncd/dps/fonts/Helvetica
%NETFILE-I-MATCHATTEMPT, attempting NFS open of /usr/lib/X11/ncd/dps/fonts/Helvetica on 191.42.155.70 for /usr/lib/X11/ncd/dps/fonts/Helvetica
%NETFILE-I-OPENSUCCESS, open succeeded for /usr/lib/X11/ncd/dps/fonts/Helvetica
This section describes how to use AnswerBook, ImageTool, and PageView on an NCD terminal if the applications are running on a Solaris system.
Running AnswerBook
If OPENWINHOME is set incorrectly, an error message is displayed as shown in the following example:
% setenv OPENWINHOME /u/ken%
answerbookVerifying AnswerBook environment
Could not find the AnswerBook administration utility
"ab_admin" in /u/ken/bin
%
If OPENWINHOME is not set, the following messages are displayed:
% answerbookVerifying AnswerBook environment
The "OPENWINHOME" environment variable is not set.
Are you running OpenWindows?
Check/reset the value of OPENWINHOME, then rerun
"AnswerBook".
%
No special fonts are needed for AnswerBook.
Running ImageTool
Problems with this application are caused by unavailable fonts, colormap flash, and incorrect setting of OPENWINHOME.

Colormap Flash
To get the proper colors, make the window with the picture the focus window and press Alt-F12.
OPENWINHOME Variable
If OPENWINHOME is not set or is set incorrectly:
File format not found. Use Open As option to choose file
Error opening /usr/openwin/share/images/PostScript/file.ps
To solve this problem, exit from ImageTool and set the OPENWINHOME variable. Restart the application.
Running PageView
Problems with this application are described in the following subsections. No special fonts are required for PageView, and you need not set the OPENWINHOME variable.
Displaying the Images
Run PageView from the /usr/openwin/bin directory. When prompted by a "goto" request, enter the path to the images; for example, /usr/openwin/share/images/PostScript.
