Adobe postscript flushes the file, so any attempt to work after an error is above the postscript standard. I like the fact that it continues to try to work but agree with you about the weird state. I will add my $0.02 worth. The errors are not implemented in a similar fashion to adobe stuff. Trying to understand PS's errors is a bigger head ache than trying to understand adobe. The biggest problem is that no line number is given for the error. > > >-- > @__________@ W.
