Oi, I need to read the specs more carefull (although I find it kind of
stupid to include a showpage in an EPS, because it messes with the
postscript page). I will try the recommended solution (which is more a
king of dirty hack) and see if the additional showpage stops having
the effect of yielding additional pages.

The postscript manual also recommends a save/restore pair around any
imported code, which I had not yet in place.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Yours,


Tjeerd
