Oh, oh. I'm becoming convinced.

What about this as an off-the wall suggestion. Do the
fill part of the contour plot (without axes) in the Z
graphics buffer with CELL_FILL. Then take a snapshot
of this portion of the window for later display with
something like TVIMAGE in the PS file. Add your
actually contour values on top of this image
(CONTOUR with NOERASE).

I'm going to guess that should reduce the size of the
file (which I'm sure are due to LOTS of polygons)
considerably. Probably to less than a filled contour
with FILL. :-)

Cheers,

David
