Please tell me what method you are using for that conversion and
why you don't like the result, so I can try to do something better.

The current CVS version of openmath has some improvements on the
Postscript file produced and I'm still going to introduce a few more
improvements in the next few weeks. I will also add an option to
staircase to generate postscript directly, without having to access
the openmath menu. When I do those changes I will make
dynamicalsystems.mac an official Maxima package.
