Ghostscript is supposed to be *less* susceptible to limitchecks than most other (Level 1) PostScript language interpreters, since (in particular) it does not have a fixed-size area for path storage, so I would very much appreciate it if you can put a file that causes a limitcheck on a file server where I can get it by FTP. If you cannot do this, send me private e-mail so I can get the file some other way. Thanks -- L.
