I just tried this. The plot shows up all right, and looks
good. But the axes annotation is missing. :-(

Is this a Ghostview problem? A preview problem? Or are they
really gone? (I don't have a PostScript printer at the moment.)
I see the annotations if I choose Bitmap output, but not if
I choose vector output.

Cheers,

David

P.S. Does this mean I have to separately annotate all my iTool
output in Adobe Illustrator to get high quality graphics? :-)
