Here is the scenario.  We have drawing package that generates
HPGL.  We used a filter provided by Frame to generate an EPSI
file from the HPGL file generated by the drawing package (the
filter is called hpgltoepsi).  We then included that EPSI file
into a FrameMaker document.

When we print out the file with FrameMaker on a Sun to a
LaserWriter Plus, it prints the document.  If we print out the
file with FrameMaker on a Mac to a LaserWriter II, it generates
the error:

	ERROR: dictfull
	OFFENDING COMMAND: def

	STACK:

	{}
	/path_right

Frame Technologies, Adobe and some PostScript experts couldn't
explain why this happened.  One provided a workaround.  I need
to know why this happens and a possible solution, since a large
amount of documents will be generated this way and printed from
a Mac.  If anyone has any ideas please help!
