In trying to track down a problem with 'epsfinfo.ps', I created the following
test program.

	Adobe_EPSF /initialize get exec
	72 72 moveto
	/Times-Roman findfont 120 scalefont setfont
	(Test) show
	showpage

To which, epsfinfo.ps returns the string:

%%BoundingBox: 279 72 279 72

which as far as I can tell defines a point and is not useful for making an
EPS file out of.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  Are there some bug
fixes for epsfinfo.ps that I don't have?  The comment in the copy that I have
(just obtained weeks ago from the Adobe server) says 9/8/90 Version 0 3.

Thanks for any help!
