Scribe6 does not handle the boundingbox attribute of the graphic
environment. It gives a strange error message, and then ignores the
boundingbox values in the PostScript file completely. I tried this a
few different times, following the manual, and several variations. The
file below is exactly the way it's done on page 1-2 of the Scribe6
supplement.
Repeat with this file:
@device(postscript)
this is some text.
@graphic(PostScript="ckt.ps", BoundingBox=File)
this is some more text.
When run through Scribe6, this is the result (note I had to supply the
name of the graphic file, even though it was in the @graphic command)

Workaround? Don't use "boundingbox", use "height" and "width" instead.
Fix? I haven't the slightest.
