Hi Jochen,<BR>
<BR>
I forwarded your question to Berthold Horn, developer/author of Y&Y TeX Systems. Below is his answer. Let us know if you succeed.<BR>

(1) Make sure "Preferences > Show Previews" is checked.<BR>
<BR>
(2) The ideal method is to have a proper EPSF file (Appendix H of the<BR>
PS reference manual) with preview included. Proper graphics<BR>
applications do this for you. They include a preview in one of the<BR>
supported formats right in the EPSF file.<BR>
<BR>
(3) If you have a raw EPS file (say from Unix where the default<BR>
EPSF preview format is EPSI, but no application seems to support it)<BR>
then you can try and add a TIFF file with the preview and<BR>
the same name as the corresponding EPS file. Then in<BR>
on screen viewing it will try and use the TIFF file, while<BR>
in printing to PS device it will use the EPS file.<BR>
<BR>
(3) One reason this may not work for you is that it is not <BR>
finding the TIFF file. Another possibility is that the<BR>
scale in the TIFF file is bizarre and causes the image<BR>
to be way too small to be visible (use DefaultTIFFDPI<BR>
in the [Window] section of dviwindo.ini to work around this).<BR>
<BR>
(4) Another option is to add a preview in EPSI format to<BR>
your EPS file. This has the advantage of leaving a<BR>
plain text (rather than binary) image file, and the disadvantage<BR>
of leading to a much larger file. There are utilities lying<BR>
around that (somewhat painfully) using GhostScript or<BR>
something, render the PS part and add a preview in EPSI <BR>
format. Do a search on the web...<BR>
<BR>
You may have a tiff file with extension ".tiff". This won't work<BR>
since as far as I remember it looks for a file with extension<BR>
".tif".<BR>
<BR>
Another thing to try is to add<BR>
<BR>
<X-TAB> </X-TAB>ForceTIFF=1<BR>
<BR>
to the [Window] section of the dviwindo.ini file in your windows directory.<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #f5f5f5 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">Maybe I should clarify: The problem is not to insert TIFF graphics but <BR>
to insert EPS graphics which do not have a tiff preview included, and <BR>
let DVIWindo use a TIFF file with the same name as the EPS file but <BR>
with the extension .tif instead to generate a preview. The manual <BR>
highlights this as a "Tip", however it doesn't seem to work. <BR>
<BR>
I just used the \special command once to make sure that dviwindo <BR>
doesn't have any particular problems with the TIFF files that I have <BR>
generated. <BR>

<FONT color=red>> I am guessing that the use of a \special command, after inputting </FONT><BR>

<FONT color=red>> not sure how both would work together. It is possible that </FONT><BR>

<FONT color=red>> the showtiff.tex file... I'd suggest trying a small file </FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> with nothing much in it but text and the graphic image </FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> and the input of showtiff.tex and see how that goes... </FONT><BR>
