Simon,
If you have access to "IslandDraw" on the SUN, that will do the trick.
I've been taking the postscript output, adding annotations, saving
as postscript, and printing to a Tektronix PhaserII. The drawings
include both raster, text, and vector data. With the Mac,
I've tried "Illustrator" and "Freehand" with no luck. In addition, there
is a package that runs on NeXT machines that works too by the name of
"Tailor".

No responses first time around, so I'll ask again!
-----I'm a big fan of ps.map, since it gives the fexibility to
use a variety of output devices (I have had success with
Canon Color Laser Copiers, Canon Bubblejets, Sun SparcPrinter (deceased),
and an Agfa slidemaker). However, sometimes, it seems rather laborious
to put all the required annotation on through fiddling with
a ps.map script. What would be nice is to generate the basic
output with the geographically critical elements included with
ps.map, and then add an extra layer of annotation in some more
friendly wysiwyg application, like some drawing or painting package
on a Mac or PC. I contacted the local Aldus people today, but
they tell me the well known packages do not import "raw" postscript,
and are flakey even with "eps", though the latter sounds like a better
option.
Has anyone else wrestled with this one and come up with a nice solution?
btw, I do NOT want to convert the thing to a raster, as I like the high
quality lines and text that you get from ps.map, which I do not
think are available from GRASS in any other way.Cheers
