Well, yes, I am aware of that.    But as I said before, it's
fine as long as it works . . .    Somewhere (I have to hunt)
I have PostScript documents that display okay in MacGhostView,
but which Preview declines to convert.    I will try to repeat
the experiment on the latest Preview and see if there are any
informative messages . . .
