RE: XFig, faulty (e)ps export

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Gert,

Have you checked with other Xfig users or with an Xfig mailing list?  I can
only guess that this a problem that is common to misinstallations of Xfig
and it likely has nothing specific to do with Cygwin/XFree86.

In any case, good luck finding an answer,

Harold
