Despite having been a PostScript programmer for over two decades, I have very little experience of bitmaps. Everything I’ve done so far has been vector. 

That’s about to change. And my EPS image works — hurray! 

But I want that image inside an outer code construct, {…}, to be used in a loop (well, a subroutine containing branches and loops and stuff). But the EPS image fails if wrapped in curly brackets and suffixed with an ‘exec’.

I’ve tried many variations of image techniques, including from Google. Many work. All fail if wrapped in a code. 

And I can’t find a way to ‘-F’ Mac Distiller, such that I could (….eps) run. 

So please could I have multi-fold advice?

• Obviously I’m failing to manage the image data correctly. What’s the model?

• How do I make image obtain its data when deep inside nested code items { … { … image … } … }? Please, sample code. And my PS program will have at least two bitmaps — does that make a difference?

• -F, on a Mac: how?

Thank you.
