[GRASSLIST:3998] Re: BoundingBox in eps not found by ps.map

[Florian Goessmann]

thanks!

but i found the mistake myself. the eps had mac line endings, which ps.maps doesn't understand. when i changed them to unix, everything worked fine.

regards,
Florian

PS: i thought i had posted the solution the same day when i askedm but i only sned it yo myself, not to the list :-)
