That's the same tool that was the subject of the Debian bug report, to which Ralph pointed you (indirectly) earlier; it embeds a malformed: %%BeginData: record into the generated EPS file. > Now I tryed to generat it with gimp and I don't get the error massag > from using that file So, presumably gimp is not emitting such malformed records. If you examine the gnu.eps file, as distributed with groff itself, you may observe that it doesn't have any %%BeginData record at all, so such a record is, apparently, unnecessary. -- Cheers, Keith.
