Fax Display and Edit Utility: Supershow (ss)

Displays a fax file on screen for viewing and editing. Editing options

include scaling, rotating, and reversing video.

Note:

Supershow does not scale images automatically to maintain

aspect ratios or to fit images on the screen. Each pixel in the

file corresponds to one pixel on the screen. Supershow does

support manual scaling with the commands described on the

help screen.

To see a complete list of arguments and display options, type ss

without any arguments at the system prompt. To access the

Supershow help screen, which lists movement and display

commands, press the? key during a fax display.

Note:

The Bfv API does not provide this utility under Solaris. The

version of this utility supplied for UnixWare will not run under

X Windows.

Supershow automatically determines the adapter type, so the -h and

other display-related arguments are optional on all environments.

Use these arguments to select a display mode that differs from the

default for the current adapter type.

All arguments are optional, except -i.
