you have to edit the PostScript file by hand.

>> How does one get ps.map to stop drawing a black border around
>> everything?

H> To get rid of the box around the map region you would need to edit the
H> source code or PostScript output as follows.

H> Comment out the following lines in ps/ps.map/ps_map.c and recompile.

H>     /* put border around map */
H>     fprintf(PS.fp, "BW\n");
H>     box_draw(PS.map_top  - 0.5, PS.map_bot   + 0.5,
H>              PS.map_left + 0.5, PS.map_right - 0.5);

H> or go towards the end of the PostScript file and find two lines
H> that look like this & delete them.

H> BW
H> 72.5 108.0 614.8 522.8 B D
