OK - don't panic - perhaps i had to many "!" in my mail.

ps2pdf doesn't produce any output (meaning errors or somethin) with the 
file i attached, but it did at least with one i converted (i made a 
"find -exec" and must test them all again)

the produced PDF is just not viewable with the AcrobatReader - i also 
mounted the folder in binmode - to be sure it isn't the textmode-setting.

i just wanted to state, that it isn't an error within the ps-file. of 
course the price of tee has nothing to do with this.
