  Dariush Ghorbanzadeh <ghorbanzadeh at vcnam.cnam.fr>, continuing his
experiments with the `pst-eps' package and the \PSTtoEPS macro allow me
today to found two small bugs, present since 1993... (this is not surprising
that such bugs appear very lately, because \PSTtoEPS is very restricted and
so very few used -it was for instance not adapted for what D.Gh. try to do
in his example...).

  The pst-grad.pro and pst-text.pro PostScript header files contains
some blank lines for clarity of the code. It doesn't matter all the time,
excluded when these files must be loaded explicitely with the \PSTtoEPS macro.
In this case, the blank lines are incorrectly transformed at the TeX level
before to be included in the EPS file.

  So the blank lines must be replaced by a "%" line.

  * 00/05/02 pst-grad.pro (97 patch 1): There are two blank lines in
the file which cause a bug when this header file is loaded using the \PSTtoEPS
macro of the `pst-eps' package.

  * 00/05/02 pst-text.pro (97 patch 1): There are several blank lines in
the file which cause a bug when this header file is loaded using the \PSTtoEPS
macro of the `pst-eps' package.
