We are having a problem printing grn files. Some of these files contain spline curves (as opposed to just "curves") specified like the following: CURVE BSPLINE 124.00 408.00 . . . instead of just: CURVE 124.00 408.00 . . . The first problem is that our version of grn doesn't know how to read the CURVE BSPLINE. The word "BSPLINE" gets read as some weird coordinates and added to the curve. My first question is, does anyone know where I can get a version of grn that will know what to do with the BSPLINE curve? The second problem is conjecture. We are running the transcript software (version 2.1), using psdit to convert from ditroff intermediate language to postscript. Looking at the source to psdit, I noticed that the only curve drawing it supports is a "~" drawing function. So if I had a grn that did the right thing with b-splines, would psdit then fail? If so, where would I be able to get a ditroff->postscript filter that would support it? Is it hidden somewhere in transcript that I just haven't seen? Thanks for any help.
