Dear Mark

Bad in the way. It doesn't print or takes very long time and breaks just
behind this large postscript implementation.
One more well known problem is that's usually there is no preview
included and so there is only a frame where the images are. I have seen
in the past versions sometimes the frame was printed and not the images.

I should explain a bit more that the 12MB PS files we got from some
special contour routines overlayed over maps. (It's not only object
graphics which can produce very large PS files)

For the publications we have to write by non latex programs like MS word
we normally convert the PS files to images. That is for most secretaries
much easier to handle.

regards

Reimar
