Bug#659772: landscape sciposter + hyperref + latex + dvips = center-mirrored image

["Michael H.F. Wilkinson" <m.h.f.wilkinson@gmail.com>]

Could be that I should either try to detect the usage of hyperref, or add a "hyperref option to sciposter.cls

This mail was not sent to all involved, so here a repeat:

This all chimes with my hunch that the postscript "specials" in the 
sciposter.cls code (inherited from a4poster) might be the problem. I 
have been working on a version 2.0 of sciposter.cls, and someone kindly 
sent me code replacing the page-setup code of sciposter with the calls 
to the geometry package. I will test if that solves the problem. As my 
personal beta version has been tested by quite a few and seems rock 
solid in other respects, I shall try to get a release version with 
manual ready. As I am overwhelmed by last minute exam stuff at work, I 
do not know whether I can do this before the summer vacation (starting 
July 21 for us).

Cheers

Michael

In other words, this is neither a bug in one of the involved packages,
nor in dvips.  However, I fancy, it could be worked around if sciposter
had some code for interaction with hyperref?

Is this true?
