Thanks Ivan.

I was hoping that the command below would redirect stderr to stdout  
and return the result in "out"

       [s, out] = system ("gswin32c -q -dBATCH  -dNOPAUSE  - 
sDEVICE=bbox test.eps 2>&1")

The link below indicates that this should work

On WIndows, does this command return the bounding-box information in  
"out"?
