a2ps on RedHat7.1

[Francois Delclaux]

Hi,
I use a2ps on redhat 7.1 (juste released from 6.0), and postscript
output is not
relevant according both my ps printer and gv (or x2pdf).

I looked to FAQ and known bugs, but saw nothing which could help me.

- my printer is OK (I print with Staroffice or old ps files)

- the test file is a simple one and is my .cshrc file (see attached x
file)

- the output with debug option  :  % a2ps --debug x -o x_debug.ps

- the output file without debug option : % a2ps  x -o x.ps

- the error message from gv reading x.ps : x-gv-error.txt

Thanks for your comments/remarks

Sincerly
