Problems with ps.map

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Terry!

It has been a while since I used ps.map, but I also had problems with the 
grid option in a skript file. I found that it only worked when you are 
drawing a rastermap, and not if you only draw vectors, and you have to 
explicitly set the text atts in the grid command: Ex:

-- snip
grid 1000
 numbers 1
 font helvetica
 fontsize 5
 end   
--

I never used the header option, but it looks like you have to provide a 
special text file, not that it gets header information from a map by its own.
Hope this helps. 

Michael
