 Replying to [comment:6 cmbarton]:
 > More information. The problem is with the dot-dashed line style. It
 looks really bad if you use it with streams in the nc07 demo data set and
 region set to match the elevation DEM. The dashed style doesn't look much
 better.

 You can try to use your own line style by typing zeros and ones to the
 line style combo, e.g. 01. For explanation, see ps.map manual (instruction
 vlines - style). Then, don't forget to set width (e.g. 0.5). I tried it
 and it works fine for me.


 > A further problem is that if you put the same vector map in twice and
 try to have each layer of the vector styled differently (e.g., a wide line
 in one color, overlaid by a narrow line in a different color), both layers
 take on the properties of the most recent one defined. This may be
 happening with any vectors overlaid. I don't know if this is a wxGUI or
 ps.map problem.

 This is wxGUI problem and I know about it, I would like to rewrite this
 part so please be patient.
