Gs doesn't like the x and y resolutions to be to far apart from each other. So try -r240x216 and he should not complain. If you use -r360x360 he shouldn't complain too. I think I once succeded even with -r360x180 but don't remember (since I use TeX now :-). So be sure not to leave -r undefined. cheers -Gunther ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gunther Schadow, e-mail: Gunther@mailserv.ZDV.Uni-Tuebingen.DE Sudetenstrasse 25, Phone: (49) 7071/37527 7400 Tuebingen, Germany.__________Stop__________Horn Please!__________O.K.
