It's tailored for display by Mma; there are a bunch of definitions, which Mma already knows, which need to be added to the file to make it useable by any other PS display device. Assuming you're on a unix station, you'll need to run psfix (should be part of your Mma distribution) on the output from Display[]. If you're not on unix, there's probably something comparable, but I don't know what it is. __________________________________________________________________ Jonathan E.
