Hi, I tried to use the 'epsfile' ps.map command to specify the icon to
use for certain sites. However, it appears that the resulting postscript
file is illegal:

    Error: /undefined in

    Current allocation mode is local
    GNU Ghostscript 7.07: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

(Same errors with gs 6.53.)

1) You think this could be a ps.map bug, or am I probably doing
   something wrong? The eps file appears to be legal (I created it with
   GIMP and it appears OK in ghostview).
2) If you are not using epsfile, how do you draw sites on your maps? The
   problem is that with 'icon' all sites are drawn with the same icon.
   Do you put each site type in a different map, although they may be
   related? Or do you use some type of raster?
