Hi Austin, another possibility would be to call gs with an additional -c showpage to force a showpage command after interpreting the file. Ghostscript then will generate two pages for files with a showpage instruction. The second (empty) page then must be dropped when reading data from ghostscipt. --Peter Austin Donnelly wrote: > The correct way to get gs to render the EPS file is to provide it with > a prologue, the file itself, then finally an epilogue. -- Peter Kirchgessner WWW: http://www.kirchgessner.net e-mail: peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
