Hi,
I've been using xfig v2.0 to create a diagram and whenever I convert
the *.fig file to a *.ps file via f2ps or with the latest version of
transfig I get this error from the PostScript printer (Agfa PS400) 

> psif: seq1:gerry ps start - Mon Sep 24 16:28:26 1990
> %%[ Error: undefinedresult; OffendingCommand: arcto ]%%
> %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
> psif: end - Mon Sep 24 16:29:31 1990

*but* when I preview it with ralpage or GhostScript 2.0 it's OK.
Is this PostScript right or wrong? I've included a very
shortened version of the PostScript which displays the same symptom:-
Any help welcome in this my darkest hour -):
