Postscript from GRASS

Sorry to keep going on about this topic, but I need help - again :sunglasses:

I know I've asked some of these questions before, but I'm so confused.
I've therefore tried to put together a cohesive set.

(i) I seem to be getting conflicting information concerning the ability
of GRASS to produce A3 Postscript - can anyone confirm that they have
produced full A3 sized maps from GRASS ?

We produce D-size (24" x 36") PostScript output with ps.map - no problem. The
only trick is to make sure that your ps.device/___ file really reflects the
printable page area of your printer.

A recent message concerning 'Printing tabloid .. on HP' had some info.
about amending the Postscript file pagesize by adding the command
       
       <</PageSize [792 1224]>> setpagedevice

However when I tried adding this ghostscript and the XL300 both
complained and our LaserIV just didn't do anything ?

(vi) Is this command correct ? - it doesn't look like any of the other
commands in the Postscript

(vii) Is the GRASS Postscript therefore missing the correct ? form of the
command ?

It's never caused any grief on any of our software (NewsPrint, Freedom of Press,
Ghostview). If you really want the latest info, get _PostScript Language
Reference Manual_, Second Ed., from Addison Wesley.

Many thanks again,
