Since there were a few problems reported, here's a bit more information
about the bug-fix version of grid, 0.5-1.

The purpose of this version is to fix the following bugs:
 (i)   grid (lattice) output could not be saved in metafile format
 (ii)  non-grid output could not be saved in metafile format when
       grid (lattice) was loaded
 (iii) empty page at start of grid (lattice) postscript output
 (iv) empty page at start of non-grid postscript output when
       grid (lattice) was loaded
 (v)  copying grid (lattice) output from x11 to postscript (dev.copy)
       produced blank pages in postscript

The latest version of the lattice package (version 0.4-0) should work fine
with this new version of grid.

Paul
