Humm. Well, if you have confirmed that all the individual parts
work, and that you can make a PNG file from your PS file by hand
using ImageMagik, then I think the only possible explanation is computer
gremlins. If this is the case, then I am afraid the only solution
available to you is fervent prayer. :-(
