Re: [Groff] PSPIC and eps-file

[Ruud Baart]

I found the problem. The eps file was the problem. After a different
conversion from ai to eps it was correct.

I converted the ai-file with adobe to eps format. Some programs showed
the eps-file correctly, others including ghostview, showed a multipage
document. I think the problem with this file is that is contains a
transparent image (no background).

I renamed the ai-file to pdf-file, opened it with ghostview and wrote an
eps-file. This one is correct.

Thanks for your hint.
