Dow,
Thanks for the interesting suggestion. However, I am a musician and 
graphics simply doesn't like me. I have often tackled the Gimp and 
always ended by tearing on the few hairs I've left as the logic of the 
program escapes me completely. I would love to grasp it so I can enhance 
pictures etc. but it's simply not given.
For my application the route via gs suites me fine. it gives a good 
resolution for printing and it is reasonably fast. I think I will make a 
simple script in LO to import .ps directly.
But thanks again for the suggestion.
Joep
