PS files from plottree - multiple pages fail to display
unless 'Respect DSC' is unchecked.

From all reports, it seems as if the PS files conform to postscript;
the program gs displays them without error. However, the program 'gv'
fails to display anything other than the first page. In order to see
the other pages, you either have to click 'Redisplay' (which I imagine
is not designed to view other pages) or disengage the 'Respect DSC' option.

DSC requires that each page be distinctly separate from the other, as
far as the code is concerned. However, the way the BigPrint code works is to
reproduce the entire graph on a sheet of paper, then clip off appropriately.
This is repeated for each sheet, so I am unsure whether this method is DSC-
appropriate.

I should also note that PDF files are generated just fine and contain
multiple pages that are recognized by all PDF viewers.
