We use the bb.ps header file written by Ned Bachelder et al., which
provides the bounding box information of a PostScript image.  This
usually works fine, but lately we have been having a lot of difficulty
using it with IslandDraw's PostScript output.  (bb.ps places a
bounding box around the entire page.)  Also, with regards to my
previous entry, bb.ps does not place a bounding box around the text of
PostScript generated by dvips.

Has anyone who has encountered these problems developed a fix for
them?  We have revision 1.10 of bb.ps.  Is there a new and improved
version available on the net?
