 Rick,
 
 You might note from ?cairo in R, in the Details section:
 
   The cairo_ps output is not yet encapsulated (that is coming in cairo
   1.6). 
 
 Also, if you are using a current version of R, you might want to note
 the relatively new setEPS() function. See ?setEPS for more information.
 
 HTH,

Thanks for the information. I should have checked out the function more
but I was in a hurry. The problem I was having with the R postscript
funciton under F8 was that it was creating gray images instead of color
images. I couldn't figure out how to get the color. The cairo_ps
function produced color images. I used eps2eps hoping it would fix what
was wrong and it did. So I got the color and a usable eps file. I'll
look into setEPS.
