Is there some way to get a proper %%BoundingBox comment from a
standard MAC application? I am using MacDraw along with CMD-F to
generate PostScript files. However, the values in the %%BoundingBox
comment generated in this fashion are just "?".
From research that I've done, I understand that this problem has to do
with Apple's PostScript printer driver. Am I using an out-of-date
driver? Are there plans to fix this? Is there some kind of patch
that can be applied?
I already have the utility program "BBFIG" to compute the
%%BoundingBox, but this isn't an automatic operation, and requires
that the PostScript file be edited by hand.
Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
P.S. Our Internet mail connection isn't working right; please mail
