Re: Creating Postscript o/p files?

[cshaji@xxxxxxxxxx]

Dear Jaion & Ansley,

 Many thanks for both of your rplies. It worked and now I can get the ps
o/p file correctly.
One more question: Is it possible to create eps and pdf graphics o/p or
Ferret can give only ps files?

Thanks again,

C. Shaji
