>From my investigations, it would appear that if I wish to make an eps file instead of a 'normal' postscript file, I can specify paper as 'special' and onefile to FALSE which will then mean the bounding box is used as the size. However, what wasn't obvious to me was that it is necessary to specify what family to use. If no family is specified, the default family does appear to be used, BUT, the resulting file is no different from a 'regular postscript' file. The value in ps.options does not seem to be used in the same way. Is this intentional behaviour? The help file refers to the existence of two forms of the argument family, but it doesn't seem to me to be what is at stake here. There is a reference earlier in the file to the need to be a postscript expert if tinkering with .ps.prologue is contemplated. Maybe something similar is required to understand what's happening here. best -- Patrick Connolly HortResearch Mt Albert Auckland New Zealand Ph: +64-9 815 4200 x 7188 ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ I have the world`s largest collection of seashells.
