It can't work for embbed raster inset. Because it has no ptroff in my SUN, I transfer the troff files which generated by ezprint to a NeXT, and use ptroff to convert those troff files to PostScript there. The embbed Postscript seems to be truncated by ptroff. Is it ptroff need some special macro for those troff embedd with image? Wai-kong, Sung
