Joining the previous comments, I think too that this looks really great!
I use ps.map regularly and was sometimes missing these features.
Sticking to grass command naming conventions, this enhanced version of
ps.map may better be called ps.map2 and not ps3.map, unless there is new
PostScript3 wizardry in there, not only new options.
In the current ps.map, the type of the colortable drawn for rasters is
dependent on the type of the raster. CELL rasters get a discrete
colortable with labelled categories, FCELL and DCELL maps get a color
gradient. Sometimes a DEM is of type CELL, then I would like to have a
colortable with gradient, not discrete categories. At least I would like
to have the choice. I'm using my own hackish workaround, but maybe you
could do that properly, leaving the defaults as they are now? Just a
suggestion.

Hi Hamish,
I make many changes to the files in ps.map and to avoid conflict with this
standard command I move my custom ps.map to ps3.map.
This ps3.map compile whithout errors in grass6_devel (6.5.svn). Before I send
this addons (or substitute of ps.map) I want debug and improve some part of
code but I like know the opinion and suggestions to improve the command
needed to draw quality maps whitout any other extern software.
The main improvements are:
1. All font has color.
2. All colors are R:G:B (accept named and none, of course).
3. Many dimensions accept unit (milimeters, centimeters and inches, default
points).
- Grid: option of fcolor to look like as ps3_map_grid.jpg (with a border of 2
points)
- Areas: it is possible define style of line to look as 'Geology-262' in
ps3_map_legend.jpg
- Lines: it is possible define style to hline to look as 'Railroads' in
ps3_map_legend.jpg
- Scalebar: now with fcolor to look as ps3_map_scalebar.jpg
- rlegend and vlegend: with frame and multicolumns work well as
ps3_map_legend2.jpg
... and more.
Also I send to Grass-Addons server (GRASS7 subdir) i.landsat.toar and
i.topo.corr; They compile without errors in GRASS7 but I can not test because
teh compilation of GRASS_7 give me errors in many files, mainly because:
/usr/local/grass-6.4.0svn/lib/libgrass_I.so: undefined reference to `G_gets'
/usr/local/grass-6.4.0svn/lib/libgrass_I.so: undefined reference to
`G_get_ask_return_msg'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Thank for suggestions and comments
