If someone is using Ghostscript (2.6.1pl4) & Ghostview (1.5) as
IDL Manual browser the following hint might be useful:
The ps manual files distributed on the IDL 3.5 CD-Rom are created by
Framemaker. The current Framemaker version produces postscript files without the standard '%!PS-Adobe-' header. Ghostview has limited handling capabilites of non-
standard postscript files. Backward paging, skipping to any page or
marking pages are not possible. We applied the short script below
to insert the required header in the manual files. This way Ghostview & Ghostscript
can be used as manual browser without any restrictions.

cd $IDL_DIR/manuals
set files=`find . -name "*.ps" -print`
foreach file ($files)
echo "Updating $file ..."
sed 's/^\%\!/\%\!PS\-Adobe\-2\.0/' "$file" > "$file".tmp
mv "$file".tmp "$file"
end
