Does anyone know where or if I can get in touch with Adrian Aylward, author of the POST PostScript emulator for the Amiga? There appears to be a bug in the operation of pathbbox. Description: Assume that I have a function that can generate a box-shaped path given the lower-left and upper-right coordinates, such that <path-description-commands> pathbbox makebox stroke draws a box around the path described. Now execute this line: 200 200 300 300 makebox gsave 30 rotate pathbbox makebox stroke grestore makebox stroke This should draw a box at (200,200) to (300,300) and surround it with another box, right? It doesn't in v1.5 of POST. Is there a newer version? Is this an undocumented bug? Could someone in the UK get ahold of this guy and try to figure it out? Any responses should be directed by email to phys59@jetson.uh.edu as I do not regularly read all the newsgroups this is being directed to. Thanks. Ron, phys59@jetson.uh.edu UH doesn't speak for me, I don't speak for them. clever .sig held up pending FCC type acceptance.
