I have the impression that it is not a good idea to actually issue a PostScript command such as 'a4', which is what the 'a4' papersize definition in config.ps does. Some printers might not like that, reducing the portability of the document. 'A4size' only adds a (structured) comment to the document. But I now see no need for any changes, since texconfig does the necessary translations. cheerio ralf
