present in the current version of tgif. Please see below for more

Two separate bugs, apparently, but who knows the misterious ways of

<ftp://fly.cnuce.cnr.it/pub/tmp/ground_segment_init_coll.obj>. Then,
from a console:
I have not been able to find this file, not surprising given that the bug
is 10 years old... I have used one of my *.obj files to test.
================ first example ================
$ tgif -print -tiffepsi ground_segment_init_coll.obj

Error: Can't open display:
===============================================
I have not seen this error in 4.1.45 or in 4.2.2 (the new version I am
about to upload).
Unfortunately, tgif fails also when given a display, and apparently in a
more serious way:
================ second example ================
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 tgif -print -tiffepsi ground_segment_init_coll.obj

Reading 'ground_segment_init_coll.obj'...
Invalid Tgif.PsToPdf: 'ps2pdf %s', 'ps2pdf %s %s' is used instead.
Writing to '/tmp/TgifaL58MD'...
Writing to '/tmp/Tgifwjor86'...
XBM file [720x383] printed into '(null)'.
xbmtopbm: EOF / read error
pnmtotiff: EOF / read error reading magic number
EPSI file printed into 'ground_segment_init_coll.eps'.
================================================
I see this dialog in 4.1.45 but the eps file is properly generated.
I do not see even this error in 4.2.2 and the eps is generated properly.
Cheers,
Carlo
