please submit file.
Comment 2 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-11-26 23:32:32 UTC 
Hmm. the file gets created, but ghostscript throws an exception. Very odd.
Comment 3 Richard Ames 2001-11-26 23:51:18 UTC 
As I recall it the pdf output it creates before the exception only has one
page... the ps file has 4 pages and ghostscript-5.50-17 converts all 4 without
error.

Thanks for looking at it....  Richard.
