Hello,

I am trying using prosper for the first time. My latex file compiles 
perfectly fine, but the the ps file genrated gives an error saying some 
postscript specials could not be rendered. I searched through the archive, 
and seems like a few people have had this problem, but couldnt find any 
clear answers on what to do.

System details, the detailed gsview error message and the latex file are 
appended below.

any help is much much appreciated.

Details: I am using Windows XP/WinEdt 5.4/Miktex 2.4/Ghostscript 8.51/GS 
view 4.7.

The gsview error message was:
