A colleague of mine made some minor modifications to the do_grid.c and do_geogrid.c code under /ps/ps.map/ that some of you may be interested in.
The do_grid.c changes are for displaying coordinates on an output map so that they are parallel to the border as opposed to perpendicular (I have never been a fan of displaying the coordinates perpendicular to the border myself, but that could just be personal preference). The modifications also display an E and N beside the eastings and northings of the grid coordinates. These changes unfortunately were not coded to give the user the option of displaying the coordinates with or without the 'E' and 'N', nor were they coded to give the option of having the coordinates displayed parallel or perpendicular to the border.
The do_geogrid.c changes are for displaying lat long coordinates in the format of dd°mm'ss" as opposed to dd:mm:ss. They also display parallel to the border.
I have attached the code here for those that are interested.

Sounds interesting (but should become an optional flag).
