Well sometimes it is much more important to know how you have done this
damn ps file.

So we wrote that info into each ps file

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%PLOTINIT: Tue Jan 6 13:46:20 2009
%%PLOTINIT: /private/20090106/test.pro
%%PLOTINIT: 100 Read, Write, New, No Close, Reserved my_plot.ps
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 841
%%Title: Graphics produced by IDL
