Hi Folks,
I got an email from someone experiencing problems when trying to view
(or convert to PDF) de_UserGuide.ps (I offer the PS-files on my WWW-page).
It turned out that the trouble stems from the included EPS-figures:
They contain the line
%%Begin Data:
without further parameters, which both the NT Ghostscript and Acrobat
Destiller did not like. He manually edited the PostScript source to
%%BeginData: <Number> Hex Lines
with the following values for <Number>:
mobius.eps 450
escher-lsd.eps 2571
platypus.eps 4212
I don't know whether ImageMagick (which was obviously used to write the
eps files) creates wrong eps or the NT-programs are too picky.
I edited the eps-files to include the above change and checked that it
still works here (Linux, GhostScript 5.50, gv 3.5.8).
Maybe someone knows better which is the correct PostScript. Anyhow, I
include the small patch here, in case you want to apply it.
Cheers,
Pit
