- On p. 641 of the Adobe PostScript Language Reference Manual (Second Edition),
- it says that the arguments llx, lly, urx, and ury in a %%BoundingBox statement
- must be of type <int>. The type <int> is defined on p. 637 as:
-
- "An integer is a non-fractional number that may be signed or unsigned."
-
- In other words, the problem is in the program that generated that EPS code,
- not in Showcase. This problem was discussed some time ago in the newsgroup
- comp.lang.postscript.
