To avoid GhostView users searching for this, it is not in GhostView
(which has been at 1.5 for a long time). Part of the functionality is
in GSView (for Windows and OS/2), not at all the same program, and
currently at version 2.5! But epstool exists as a standalone program
for both Unix and Window / OS/2, ans is more reliable at getting the
true bounding box.
As far as I can see this is a bug in S-PLUS though; the bounding
box should be tight (`the box that enclose all the marks...').
