why i can not convert gmf file to eps file

[Ricardo Hallak]

Hi Chen,
Are you closing the enable print comand before converting the <.gmf> file?
The correct sequence of comands in a script is, for example:

'enable print <filename.gmf>'
'd <something>'
'print'
'disable print'
'!gxeps -r -i <filename.gmf> -o <filename.eps>'

If you use a 'quit' before convertion, it will work too.

Greetings,
Ricardo
