Okay, I've looked into this, and it seems the following happens: * pdfroff processes the input for TOC formatting and puts it in a file. * It then processes the input for body formatting and writes that to a different file. * Finally, it pipes both files through a sed script and into Ghostscript. The problem here is that both files are identical. If I use --emit-ps to bypass the PS to PDF conversion (using Ghostscript), then I can see that the output basically consists of two concatenated PostScript files; the line immediately after the first "%%EOF" is another "%!PS-Adobe-3.0". I'm not sure how to fix this, since I'm not sure exactly how it was supposed to work in the first place. Hopefully this is helpful. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
