Erin,

This has been asked before but no problem.

I've imported ps.map output into IslandDraw, modified/added text or vectors
and printed to an HP Phaser II postscript printer. I've not attempted to
modify the raster layer from within IslandDraw/IslandPaint other than
resizing. From what I've been told, you can get a demo version to
test IslandDraw's capabilities.

If you are running NeXTStep, "Tailor" is another postscript editing
program that is worth looking into.

I hope this has not been asked before, because apparently repetition

is fuel for flames. Has anyone had luck importing ps.map output into

Island Paint (of Island Write, Draw & Paint)? I sure don't want to

spend 1K bucks if it doesn't, but I'm tired of not having Postscript

capabilities. I'm hoping I'll be able to make good maps on my HP

Paintjet XL. The literature says has conversion capabilities for

PostScript and HPGL.

I use IslandDraw quite a bit for this purpose also. George: one question --
when I import a ps.map generated eps object into IslandDraw, it always has a
box (the Postscript bounding box?) around it. Do you know of a way to get
rid of the box (using either ps.map or IslandDraw)?

Thanks,
