Can anyone get Fprint to preserve viewports on Linux (RH 6.0)?

[Lev Tarasoff <lev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For Linux (RH 6.0),
        Program FERRET (V500beta1.1)
        Version 5.00 - 06/03/99

I'm just starting to use viewports, and while the Xwindow
gives me 4 viewports, Fprint produces postscript output
that only shows the UL viewport, even though the command
  gksm2ps -l cps -d cps -X -o tt.ps metafile_160350.plt
shows the 4 viewports in the Xwindow (and then crashes when
starting to write the .ps file), ie the metafile is correct,
but ghostscript only shows 1 viewport in the .ps file.

I've also tried using ghostscript on an SGI, and still only get the 1
viewport for the .ps file.

following is the ghostscript message dump if this is of any help:
