Re: export eps on dia-0.881 and 0.90win32

["Tariq Rashid" <tariq inty net>]

thanks for your email -

I am indeed using dia0.90rc1 for win32 (as shown by the help->about). Also,
i am unable to upgrade the version on freebsd. Similarly I am unabel to use
the CVS versions.

For now - i am using PNG which is not ideal but it works...

if it helps - on unix i have found that sometimes a gv does work - but doing
a ps2ps causes a working eps file to "not work" in the same way that
originally broken ones fail. that is - after a ps2ps, the result is badly
cropped and scaled.

ps - keep up the great work on dia - its a fantastic application! I use it
all the time with lyx!
