Ctl. + Y dont add any border on my computers.
But remember the OP wants to crop postscripts, not bitmaps.
Irfanview lists postscript as an acceptable input format, although
I've never tried it. It may need a plugin.

Irfanview uses GS for PS. But then it is much better to use GV instead.
There you can convert the PS in a editable format of your joyce. In case of
vector graphics I prefer vector graphics too, like emf or wmf or dxf or
simply ai if you have a DTP that accepts this format.

Chances are very good it's still there in the file somewhere.

I suspect the same is true of Adobe :-(

Probably not if you capture a print job to a pdf.

It's been awhile since I've used it.

I can't remember the way to crop a PostScript image.

I have a schematic that is like 5 transistors in the middle of the

markings before inserting in a Word document.

Thanks!

Tried Irfanview? It will open postscripts, crop, and save as, say, a
gif or jpeg.

I find that .png format is way better for line drawings.

Yes! Remarkably small file sizes and surprising clarity at the other

Nada, zilch, no reaction when clicking it :-(

Mozilla is a mixed bag. More reliable but some stuff doesn't work.
Thunderbird is supposedly even more stable (not in my experience though)
but lacks more features, for example the "next message" box.

a) NNTP doesn't work like that - you need a newsgroup name.
b) Mozilla Firefox is not a news client anyhow.

Try using Mozilla Thunderbird, which *does* do NNTP, and use a valid
NNTP url (including the newsgroup name), as shown he

My bad, confusing nntp: urls with news: ones.
The news:message-id format can work, but is only
enough to identify the message, not indicate where
it can be fetched. I.e. it'll only work in a news-
reader that's seen that message and still has it
indexed.

IMHO it would be more practical if the ng, name, data and time was
mentioned. Or at least something unique, upon which you can find it in
Google groups.

Never tried that. I had hoped for a mouse click button like Mozilla has
it. I've got a wireless mouse and often sit in front of lab gear and not
the keyboard. Beats me why they took that out.

Next message is hidden in a pull-down menu. The one I use the most is "t",
mark this thread read and jump to next unread message. I just wish there was
a "kill thread and never show me any further responses to it" that worked
properly. And a "kill author" key that also kills responses to that author.

Sounds like you need a wireless keyboard as well.

Another feature would also be useful: Sound a tone or something when
someone responds to one of your posts. And allow collapsing threads in
one fell swoop when subscribing to a new NG.

Or keep using the old Mozilla. Sometimes older software is better. A lot
more so than it used to be.

Older software is often better than all this new stuff. The most stable
browser I ever had was also my first one: Mosaic. That together with the
CompuServe email client was the most rock solid web interface mankind
could wish for. Not one lone crash or hickup in many years.

One of the nice things about Firefox, and the other Mozilla browsers
is that you can customize the screen to have any icons you want displayed.

I haven't felt the need to learn how, as I think SeaMonkey is practically
perfect in every way, but a little googling around will find you the
instructions. Themes and extensions are what they are called.

Hi,

I find that .png format is way better for line drawings.
Yes! Remarkably small file sizes and surprising clarity at the other end.
I use that 90% of the time and it renders nicely on almost any PC.

png is a bitmap format, and never as good as a vector format if you have a
vector grafic. The pitty is that word isn't able to handle vector graphics
in a useful way :-( Even Powerpoint can't do this in a clean way.

Ok, but PNG can be read by pretty much any PC and that's what really
matters to my clients. Also, PNG produces schematics and stuff in small
file sizes and stunning clarity.

I used to import lots of HPGL files into DOS-Word in the 90's. Never a
problem. I don't know whether Win-Word does it as good, somehow HPGL has
fizzled away a bit.

pstoimg is probably the best tool. Something like this commandline I'm guessing.

$ pstoimg -type png -crop a -out outfile.png infile.ps

pstoimg is a perl script, but you could probably just run it in debug mode to
get the GS calls directly. I don't know how to set to set crop markers, sorry.
