[magick-users] newbie PS limitations ?

[Mark Hounschell]

I'm new to this list (and postscript) and I hope this isn't the wrong place to ask. 
I am having problems viewing some home grown PS files. I am using IM and  
but I can't view them with anything else either so my problem is not with IM. 

I've read about all I can read pertaining to my situation and I'm not getting anywhere fast. 

I'm using raster data as my source and I seem to be hitting some size limitation ( I think).

I have a file that displays as expected. When I add a single additional line of raster data 
and change the header accordingly it no longer displays and I get the following with the 
display command.

display: no decode delegate for this image format `/tmp/lcrsp8878_4_5'.
display: Postscript delegate failed `/tmp/lcrsp8878_4_5'.

The files are very basic and only display a black box. I've attached a good one and the bad one. 
Again, the only difference in the raster data is a single line of data and the header info. 
If anyone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong or point me to somewhere else it 
might be appropriate to ask this, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks and regards
Mark
