One suggestion would be to mess around with the 'levels' that xfig provides. It could be that your object is hiding on one of those other levels that isn't visible.
Otherwise, I know you said that reading the spec wasn't an easy option, but I was able to write a Perl script that converted black lines to white lines (and vice versa, for converting for dark/light backgrounds like in the prosper package) after spending about 30 mins. with the spec. There's really not much to it. I'm highly dubious of your charge of fig2dev spitting out bad PS. That piece of software has been around for at least 15 years, so things should be (for the most part) ironed out. I'm not saying it can't happen, I haven't used fig2dev or xfig in a while, I just don't think that's the "Occam's razor" solution. BTW: love your sigs! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
