I've been having similar problems with postscript files on a Powermac using
3.6.1. The problem I've been having is that if I create a file using something
simple such as

set_plot, 'ps'
plot,x,y,psym=1
device,/close ;only done after the plot statement has finished

This will generate a file on the Sun which can be ftp'd to the Mac and used
fine. (Hint - it will not be seen as a Postscript file unless you change the
filetype - this will be a problem where your application in the mac is
specifically searching and filtering for PS files).

However, on the Powermac, it generates the correct filename, but the file is
empty with 0 bytes. It doesn't seem to matter if it is standard or eps (with or
without preview). Has anyone else had similar problems?

I've been waiting to see release 4.0 to see if the problem is still there (when
it finally arrives later this week - I hope!).

Is this similar to the other problems?
