Further to my previous message: Maybe I *am* a moron and not just an idiot studying hard to be one. I realized that I should have been doing ps2pdf demo.ps not ps2pdf demo and *that* was the source of the error that I was getting. So it all seems to be working now. I guess the problem is "solved". I still don't understand why the error that I originally got, relating to "hypdestopt" went away. I really didn't change ***ANYTHING*** in the interim. I did not reboot; I didn't even log out and log back in. It is utterly mystifying. cheers, Rolf Turner -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
