>Thanks for your reply . But we have tried removing this Post script and the result was not as expected. so understood that they are not comments. Please believe me when I say that % is a comment in PostScript. I don't often say this, but I DO know what I am talking about. However, your "PostScript" files are processed by a program. It is likely that it uses %PS as some kind of escape, and removes it. I recommend reading the program (not the PostScript) to find out how these are handled. Until you know exactly what is done to process these lines into a print or other file, it is probably not a good idea to touch them. >So, we are trying to understand this post script, so that we can locate what is the starting position that is tied up with this box display. PostScript has a transformation matrix which is used to map all coordinates. Without looking at the entire context of the print stream, rather than these few lines, it is not possible to know what the co-ordinates mean. Aandi Inston
