I think I would try removing the VECTOR keyword. Vector output is
a bit of a hack, thrown in to appease some of use who were displeased
about the size of PostScript output. Until there is a true vector
pipeline from object graphics to PostScript the chance of this working
with any but the simplest object graphics programs is probably slim.
This should work OK without the keyword. Just be sure you have plenty
of disk space. :-)

Cheers,

David
