You're probably already aware, but Ghostview etc. do a pretty
good job of viewing both EPS and PS on Windows these days. It
is of course fair to say that they are probably not as widely
installed as Acrobat Reader, but they are free software (speech
not beer). Mind you, the people in your environment may not
care :)

Perhaps it might be wise, on another tangent, to add a
--printtofile option or similar to dia so that this could be
done from the command line? What do people think?  If the
consensus is that it's a good idea, I'll add it as an
enhancement bug.

Andrew.
