[foxboro] Resetting graphics optimization for FoxView?

Hi all,

I've got just a few workstations running FoxView (testing, before we purchase a
100 pack of licenses and do the whole site) and ran into a few issues on the FV
workstations during some upgrade work.

As part of merging two I/A networks under a V8.1 Mesh, I had to re-address one
of the two networks (new NSAP addresses).  After the address change for all the
stations, graphic callup was very slow (predictably) because the graphics files
were optimized for the wrong addresses.  The same issue occurs when upgrading or
merging control stations.

For the Display Manager graphics, the fix is easy.  Go to the graphics directory
on each AW and WP and run "pdfpack -r *" to clear the optimizations and allow
the graphics to call up with only a momentary delay as they re-optimize.

Anyone have any good solution to this problem with FoxView graphics?  The
painful solution is to call up each of the 4000 graphics and overlays twice
(about 30 seconds on the first callup), on each FoxView workstation.  I tried
being a little smarter and ran a script to run fdf_g and g_fdf on each graphic.
 This cleared the optimization, but introduced other problems in the graphics
which had been migrated from Display Manager (calling an overlay caused the main
graphic to revert to the previous display).
