-5- What should I know before upgrading to IRIX 6.2?


  If you are currently using Impressario 1.x, you will need to upgrade to
  Impressario 2.x when you upgrade to IRIX 6.2.  This is because the PostScript
  RIP provided with Impressario 1.x is a COFF executable, and COFF executables
  are not supported by IRIX 6.2.

  Impressario 2.0 and higher is included standard with IRIX 6.2 and higher. In
  addition to supporting more PostScript printers, the 2.x releases provide a
  Kodak Color Management System interface that allows you to calibrate images
  you scan and print.

  Note that the PostScript RIP provided with Impressario 2.x is an extra-cost
  item not covered by the standard IRIX software license.  The PostScript RIP
  software is required for printing to non-PostScript printers.  If you
  currently have a support contract with SGI and already have Impressario 1.x
  you can get the RIP license "free" from SGI.
