converting metafile to EPS



Dear Ferret users,

does anyone know of a working method to convert a ferret metafile to
an EPS file with a properly cropped boundingbox? I generate the
postscript file with "Fprint -l cps -o postscript.ps metafile.plt". In
the past I have succesfully used

- psfixbb 
- convert postscript.ps postscript.eps
- ps2epsi postscript.ps postscript.epsi

I am now using ferret 5.8. On this system (debian unstable) I don't
have psfixbb. Convert crops the figure around the axis (axis labels,
title and colorbar labels fall off). ps2epsi puts the figure on a full
a4 page instead of cropping it.

Does anyone know of a tool that succesfully crops postscript files
generated by ferret 5.8 and Fprint (gksm2ps) and makes a proper EPS
file? I'll happily write a script to modify the postscript file too,
but I don't know what to modify.

Thanks
	Hein Zelle
