- Ghostscript is supposed to be *less* susceptible to limitchecks than
- most other (Level 1) PostScript language interpreters, since (in
- particular) it does not have a fixed-size area for path storage, so I
- would very much appreciate it if you can put a file that causes a
- limitcheck on a file server where I can get it by FTP. If you cannot
- do this, send me private e-mail so I can get the file some other way.
