Close, but not quite right. It is the importing application's responsibility to enclose the graphic in save/restore, so all memory doesn't have to be released and the graphics state doesn't have to be restored. But the program should not (for instance) leave any recent strings on the stack because that would cause an invalid restore . . . -tom
