[GRASSLIST:5524] ps.map

Hi all, I am trying to export a map at 1:100,000 scale. I have been using ps.map, and it works fine with small page sizes such as us-letter or a4. However when I try to use something bigger (because I have a large illustration) such as a0 (with ps.select), Adobe Illustrator will only produce a blank file (9.3 Mb in size). The file is viewable in ghostview at a0 size. I have tried to convert from postscript to eps via ps2epsi, but every time I just get a blank image in illustrator. Any ideas?

I am using osx 10.2.3 running grass 5.0.0

Thanks
Ian

Thanks all for your suggestions. Turns out the problem is with illustrator 10. These large files open fine in illustrator 8. I agree that it must be something with the bounding box, but it seems difficult to set one up manually. It seems that the bounding box must be smaller than 8.5 by 11 for illustrator 10 to read it, otherwise it only reads a blank file. It is disconcerting though that there isn't an easy way to produce an eps file from a large ps.
