Comment 5 for bug 1647276

Hi Ray,

Fair enough.

But this reply does not actually solve the problem that was created by the 02 December update.

I will file another bug report

Subject: [Bug 1647276] Re: ps2epsi fails after December 01 update

Just in case you aren't following the bug forwarded to us, we have closed the bug as INVALID
Basically, the bug report was incomplete, and confusing -- the title and follow up info to us
indicated ps2epsi, but the description comment "This means that I am unable to convert from a ps to a PDF and have the correct (tight) bounding box." indicates that a PDF was being created. ps2epsi does not create a PDF (ghostscript can, using ps2pdf, not ps2epsi.

We did try ps2epsi and the %%BoundingBox looks fine.

Please try and do a better job of describing bugs in the future, bu including the command line
and describing the "before" and "after" results in as much detail as possible, particularly
what you think is incorrect in the "after".
