DSC for proper scrolling in GSView?

Hi,

I'm trying to take several 1-page EPS files and put them together as a
single PS. I already found out, by searching here, about DSC comments
in order to be able to scroll up or down when using GSView (I want it
this way for someone else, and also because I'm curious now!). This is
the file so far (I've removed the actual content of each page, which is
very standard):

%!PS-Adobe-2.0
%%Pages: 2
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%BeginSetup
%%EndSetup

%%Page: 1 1
10.5 setlinewidth ...
showpage

%%Page: 2 2
10.5 setlinewidth ...
showpage

%%EOF

But this is not enough, and I can't find out more. What am I missing?

Thanks a lot in advance,

David

What do you mean by "not enough"? Whats not working?

Have you read the DSC specification?

>What am I missing?

Well for one thing it would be good to have a %%BoundingBox: comment.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the info, I found the problem in that document: i had
"2.0" instead of "3.0" for the version. Changing this allows me to
scroll up and down with GSView.

Thanks,

David
