OK, I'll take a look.

I'll look at where it's defined; it probably would make sense to make a 
corresponding macro for it too.

OK.

No problem... I just spent the last 2 days trying to reconstruct an image that 
I'd used in Japan for a presentation and then (apparently) hacked on... guess 
I reshaped a class without migrating it very well (and apparently without a 
backup first).

In the process I also made Postscript printing a lot nicer and more accurate.

Now I just have to convince the Mac-ists that a point is not the same thing as 
a pixel...
