[R] xfig device

[Brian Kurotsuchi]

Actually I did remember to dev.off().  I'm inserting the graphic into a LaTeX
document and then using gs to print it.  What happens is that gs processes
most of the document and then spits out an error just before it finishes.

I can actually print the partial file it creates by running gs manually and
directing the output file to the printer device.  The problem is that I
normally send the document (as postscript from dvips) through lp which
automagically runs gs (Solaris print filter system) and directs that to the
device.  Of course an error code from gs causes the filtering to abort and I
get no output.
