[GEMPAK #VBM-697371]: GEMPAK - Postscript print size

Mark,

The available paper trays that are defined are 8.5"x11" and 11"x17".
The order of xsize;ysize defines portrait vs landscape.

The size of the paper is dependent on the whether you have a printer that
understands the prolog in the code to automatically select a specific tray.

> I can't seem to control the print size of the postscript output.

> DEVICE   =  PS | $mapName.ps | 10 ; 7.5 | M

> It appears that I always get xsize:ysize = 11;8.5

> I have found an online manual in at a couple of locations.  One (GEMHELP

> 
> device | name
> 
> another (GEMPAK 5.10.3) documents the form:
> 
> device | name | xsize ; ysize | color type
