I've noticed a bug with LaserFix (oops, version unknown but I get
can find out) and MacDraw, in which the PostScript generated
by LaserFix does not match the PostScript generated by apple-F.  It
seems that sometimes, the first rectangular object in the drawing
is resized and moved to a new position.  To repeat the problem,
generate a MacDraw figure and save the PostScript output with both
LaserFix and with apple-F.  Run the two files through "diff" (or
a Mac equivalent).  If the bug has appeared, the PostScript code
for the first object will be different.

Has anyone else noticed this bug?  Is there a fix?
