Noted, I am in the process of studying the print subsystem with an eye
to rewrite the bits to improve the output, and make it appear a closer
to other postscript output I have seen.
A questions to further the discussion on this:
1) What should happen if there is more than one `printarea' rectangle
defined?
2) How to we minimize user surprise if they place something outside of
the title block area if there is one of these `magic' squares built into
the symbol?
3) What do we do if there is no printarea defined?
4) What do we do if the attribute is attached to something other than a
rectangle?
5) How should printarea affect EPS output?
