Systems using GhostScript seem to have problems displaying and printing Varkon PostScript output.

Evince crashes on attempting to print Varkon .ps files.

If the Varkon PostScript output is run through ps2ps, evrything is fixed, and the model is printed as large as possible on the given paper size.

This is a problem I have never heard of before. Is it possible for you to send me
the two files (before ps2ps and after) so that I can check what the diference is ?

Here's the converted output, run through ps2ps. They won't let you attach more than one file at a time? /:-/

Here's the MBS that produces the output. Just a simple box.
