Thanks for the pointer... Let's say I had the time;-)

I just downloaded mgp-snap-990301.tar.gz and compiled it. 

(1) mgp2ps: same bug (wrong size)
(2) same X11 fault with the small file I sent. 
(3) -G option does not work.
(4) "G" (toggled from mgp) does not work on last slide as reported.
(5) I tried to run sample/sample-fr.mgp
    - there is a typo line 39: %rmcutin -> %rcutin
    - once fixed, it coredumps on the second or third page: 
      "Floating point exception (core dumped)"

However I noticed that accentuated characters (é...) are not considered
anymore by mgp as word separators! This is great, because I was to report
this one!;-)

I have improved my language to mgp convertor (Perl/Java/Fortran...), I
might consider distributing it if someone is interested...

Have a nice day,

Fabien.
