    I haven't used PageStream 2.0; I'm still using 1.8.  However, I
found that with 1 Meg, I had to be very careful.  I couldn't print
unless I had just rebooted the machine with a special startup-sequence
that left a lot of things out.  I also couldn't import any pictures.
There were other things that I couldn't do.  The most common symptom
was that PageStream would go off contemplating its navel and wouldn't
do anything.

I have imported Aegis files into PageStream.  The pictures had to
have been formatted in 8.5 by 11 units in Draw.  I don't know about
PlPlot, but when I tried to import Draw files that I made from
the Diga! tektronics emulation, I got garbage even though they
displayed fine in Draw.  I decided that this because the tektronics
pictures had dimensions of 4096 by 4096.
