    Dear Tim,

    I used the postscript viewers (KGhostview and Gnome Ghostview) from Redhat 
    to read the postscript output file but they can't read it. I attached the 
    output messages that were
    generated by gsview. I think missing font types could be one of the 
    problems.
    
    I tried to input a large GDS layoout file (10 Mbytes) into Magic. I found 
    that the cell manager
    doesn't show me the name of all the cells before I load the topcell. It 
    displays the name of
    all the instances under the topcell icon in the cell manager windows. It 
    seems to be some
    problems with the wrapper. I still can see the name of all the cells in the 
    Tcl console window
    as well as loading them one by one. However, Magic is not very responsive 
    after I switch from
    cell to cell. It will pause for a few minutes before it will pass the 
    control of Magic back to me. I
    opened the Magic without the wrapper and it works fine. Do you think I need 
    to start Magic without the wrapper to deal with a large layout file?
    
    I can read this GDS layout file into Magic but I can't see the layout 
    displayed correctly on
    screen. I would like to understand what is the relationship between the 
    layout colors on
    the toolbar and dstyle. How can I find out what dstyle file (dsytle and 
    dsytle6) are currently
    used by Magic? Does the layout colors have a one-to-one relationship with 
    the "layout_styles"
    section of the dstyle file?
    
    Thank you for your help.
    
    Best regards,
    
    Albert
