fig2dev (fig -> gif)

[Graham Ashton <graham@mirror.bt.co.uk>]

I'm trying to use fig2dev to convert fig format images into gifs, but I
keep getting empty gif files. Here's a sample attempt;

  shandy% cat data
  0.3 1.2
  0.5 1.34
  0.7 1.6
  shandy% graph -T fig < data > file.fig
  shandy% file file.fig 
  file.fig: FIG image text, version 3.2
  shandy%

So far so good - I've made myself a fig file. It's the next bit that
fails.

  shandy% fig2dev -L gif file.fig file.gif
  shandy% file file.gif 
  file.gif: empty
  shandy%

Any thoughts? Other fig2dev output formats work fine (e.g. jpeg, ps,
etc)

P.S. Is there a problem with the list? I don't appear to have received
any messages from it all weekend.

Thanks.
