[comp.text.tex] Bufsize in Latex

bramesh@rnd.GBA.NYU.EDU (Balsubramaniam Ramesh) (07/24/90)

I am trying to use Psfig program to include a postscript figure in a
Latex document. When I include a large postscript figure (screendump
filtered through suntops) I get the following error:

This is TeX, C Version 3.0
(tester.tex
LaTeX Version 2.09 <4 Aug 1988>
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/article.sty
Document Style `article' <16 Mar 88>.
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/art12.sty)) (tester.aux) (psfig.tex
psfig/tex 1.2
)
Unable to read an entire line---bufsize=3000
Please ask a wizard to enlarge me.

Unfortunately, I am not a wizard! Could someone help with this
problem? 

Is there another program like suntops which will produce a smaller
(and latex redable) postscript figure of screendumps? If yes, where
can I obtain a copy?

Thanks in advance

I suspect that what is happening is that LaTeX has opened the file to
read it to search for a %%BoundingBox comment, and failed to find it.
I has therefore started to read the image data, which is in huge
lines. I suggest you look at the file by hand and confirm that it has
got the right %%BoundingBox comment, or add the information by hand in
the call to \psfig
