I thought that Apple had implemented most of the PS functions calls as
wrappers around those methods already ? The errors I get are something
like "CGSaveGraphicsState2 -- path != NULL" which made me think it was
the gsave and grestore that were doing it - but I changed those to
use the NSGraphicsContext stuff and it didnt work.

I am loathe to change everything as it then makes it non-backward-compatible
with OpenStep and thew file becomes full if #ifdefs :-( but I will give it
a shot when I get home. WIll those calls work O.K. under GNUstep ?
