Jonathan,
Oops, mea culpa.
When I generated version 2.09, I forgot to disable optimisation
for the TPostScript class. My version of VC++ 5 generates incorrect
code for this class when compiled with optimization.
I will recompile the distribution kit tomorrow as soon as I am back
to my office.
Thanks for reporting.
