I suppose camlp4 and ocamlp4 are one and the same stuff. In this case, there

No, but i guess it would be a good programing excercice, using labltk or
something such.
Or even one of the ps writing libraries, that is one beside mlgraph, since the
author of it refused any further discution on licence changes when i tried to

roblem :(((
There is also a lgpled postscript.ml that could be used.
