By default, gri exports postscript files as EPS. This causes problems with multipage outputs, and is undesired for full-page output files. According to this bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1493002&group_id=5511&atid=105511 I wrote a patch which adds an option -postscript which produces the correct postscript header.

I believe this has been addressed in the more recent gri versions. Could you please confirm so we can close this bug. Thanks, Markus
I have checked version 2.12.18, and the patch has *not* been added. GRI still produces the EPSF header (without an option to turn it off), and in the bugtracker it is still listed as a bug.
Thank you very much for your update. I've ported your patch to 2.12.18 and added it to portage. Thanks again for providing it. Maybe you can give upstream another nudge ;) best, Markus
Works like a charm and given another nudge :) I don't really understand the problem they mentioned there though. I tried 2.12.18 before, but the patch was not there, and now it is. Should this not be 2.12.18-r1 to prevent confusion?

Since most users seemed to be unaffected by this issue (given lack of cc's and comments here) I decided to not force them all to recompile the package. In retrospect, pushing out -r1 might have probably been more sensible. Oh well, next time. I am glad it works though. cheers, Markus
