Fwd: [bug-gs] PS2PDF size problem with EPS files.

[adrian moir]

Hi,
  I have not heard anything on the below e-mail I sent on the 17th of 
October,
Does anyone watch this mail list?
Is there a better list to send it to?
Is this a Big known issue that nobody will own up to?
I would like an answer, if it can be fixed either way yes or no.
If yes then how, if no then I'll look at something else.
Thanks for your time.
Adrian.
