[R] PNG diver problem

[Andrew Schuh]

Do you have an example of this (code-wise)?  I am using RH7.2 and R1.3 
and do a lot of batch processing.  Currently I use ImageMagick to 
convert postscript images generated by R since I have had some trouble 
using the PNG device (strangely translated axis lines, etc).  However, 
it would be nice to be able to batch out bitmaps without using ImageMagick.
