A while back I posted a message about my inability to convert VDCT drawings to PostScript:

> VDCT -- 2.6.1274 on OS X and on LInux
> 
> When I try to export as PostScript I get the following error:
> java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
> 	at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.insert(AbstractStringBuilder.java:979)
> 	at java.lang.StringBuffer.insert(StringBuffer.java:446)
> 	at com.cosylab.vdct.VisualDCT.printGrid(Unknown Source)
> 	at com.cosylab.vdct.VisualDCT$1MyOwnPostScriptExportingThread.run(Unknown Source)
> 
> Is there some setting that I've missed?   Some workaround that will let this proceed?

I received no responses thus leading me to believe that:
A) VDCT is dead.
or
B) No one else has a problem with this conversion.
or
C) No one else needs to get PostScript images for inclusion in other documentation or archival in a document control system.

So -- which of the above statements is true?

Hopefully,
