it's left bottom right top
postScript thinks of the page as occupying the positive x and positive y
quadrant of a graph.
the origin the page is at it's lower left, in the center of the graph. (0,
0)
yes, Emmanuel, the %%BoundingBox comment is a rule in EPS files.
i don't know if it's a rule but there's a %%DocumentMedia comment
in the quarkXPress .ps files i have that has width and height in that
order.

EPS files contain this string at the top:
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 576 734
I think that's left top right bottom. I don't know about pure
PostScript files.
