Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: disappearing header

[Ian Castle <bb+lists.docbook-apps@looksystems.co.uk>]

Have you tried changing ghostscript to use A4 as default?

Uncomment the line in gs_init.ps

If you don't want A4 as your default then you will have to pass it as a
command line option to gs (i.e. edit the ps2ps script or whatever).

Here is a patch against a rather old version 4.03 which I happened to
have to hand.....
