ps2pdf works fine on Plan 9: I just tested it on tk.ps. The result is at http://swtch.com/tk.pdf Judging from the contents of the current tk.pdf, it looks like you might have slipped and run pdf2ps tk.ps tk.pdf instead of ps2pdf tk.ps tk.pdf The names of the commands are slight misnomers. Only the ``2xxx'' part matters: they both accept either PS or PDF as input. If you type the wrong one, then GhostScript blindly converts PS -> PS or PDF -> PDF. The current tk.pdf is definitely the output of GhostScript's PS writer. Russ
