Markus,
The copy of ps.map.new I read is a couple of days old. That explains it.
Radim Blazek <Radim.Blazek@dhv.cz> added new features:
These are all great! But, I still don't see where one can specify the page
size (inches or millimeters). Conceptually, the same printing functions
should work on any size available in the printer or plotter.
Also, are there a collection of north arrow icons somewhere? I have a
rather blah-looking one I've been using for years in MapInfo; I'd rather
have a spiffy new one for my GRASS output.
As soon as I can make some play time, I need to experiment with these.
Thanks,
Rich

Rich,
you need to create file for ps.select here:
etc/paint/ps.devices/
Example (a0 size):
etc/paint/ps.devices/a0
Contents:
----- cut here--------
level: 2
page width: 33.07
page height: 46.77
top margin: 0.5
bottom margin: 0.5
left margin: 0.25
right margin: 0.25
resolution: 300
----- cut here--------
That's all. Then use ps.select to select and ps.map
afterwards.
Best regards

Just now I have added the standard (european) paper sizes into
GRASS 5/CVS. If compiling ps.map (or using the next binary release)
you get several ps.devices already defined. This makes life more
easy, I hope.
I have added a0, a1, a2, a3, a4 paper sizes.
Source code location (CVS only actually):
src/ps.map/ps.map.old/devices/
src/ps.map/ps.map.new/devices/
