Hi, Paddy
ps.map is an alpha program with GRASS4.1 . I would venture to guess that it
could probably be safely compiled with 4.0; if you want the source code,
Martin Ameskamp has separated out the alpha programs at ftp site:
	ftp.informatik.uni-kiel.de
as
	/pub/packages/grass/grass4.1/source.upd3/src.alpha.cpio.gz

These are gzipped and cpio'd.

Another approach is to use the pbm tools to convert output from p.map to
PostScript (compile and use the "pbm" device driver with p.map) (or is that
with p.map.new?!!).

IMHO the best approach would be to switch to GRASS4.1!! :-)
