The following program draws a "donut" on the page, i.e., two circles
with the space between them filled in. It does this by drawing one
circle with "arc" and the other with "arcn".

Using Ghostview (sorry, don't know which version number) I get a donut
with a hole, just as I expected. On a Laserwriter II all I get is a
solid filled circle (a donut with no hole).

Can anybody provide any insight into why I am getting different output
on Ghostview compared to a Laserwriter?
