I'm back from seeing a retinal surgeon. This time last year I had a retinal detachment in my right eye which required major surgery. I've had similar symptoms in my left eye for the last few days. Hopefully I've caught it in time cos after a dozen quick (and painful) bursts on the laser and I'm back in business. No anaesthetic nor stitches - bloody marvellous.

Back to PostScript. I'm not certain that we're all on the same tram, but I think that I've got to the point where I might let this rest momentarily. There are a number of layers to this proposal. For my own edification I'll pursue the considerable options available in the original program (both uncompiled C and compiled DOS executables) and see where this leads.

The output in .PS is not an issue for me because I have lots of possibilities to modify the output. However this is the layer that the average Mudcatter would struggle with. I'm happy to leave this for a while until something new is available for this layer OR the output format from the base program changes.

Please email me johninbrisbane@lycos if you have any further thoughts.

Warmest Regards,
John
