- Hmm, I spent a LOT of time messing around with EPS gfx.. And I did get the
- preview to work eventually. I used a prog on the Aminet (called something like
- EpsLab !?) to add a preview image. Rendering time was still terrible though

- that was just so _incredibly_ slow (like, it never finished!) that I just
- printed that page with ghostscript instead.
