We have been including postscript for figures produced on a Macintosh in Latex documents using psfig. The Mac postscript requires a header that contains an appropiately modified laserprep file. We have been able to produce Mac figures using AppleDict version #68 fine (this corresponds to LaserPrep5.8). However, the Macs here now use LaserPrep 6.0 which contains AppleDict version #70. Now our Mac drawings will not print using psfig on our Unix machines. Can anyone point me to a source for an appropiately modified LaserPrep6.0? Or perhaps a source that would explain how to modify such a beast? (I don't know postscript myself). thanks in advance, chris chase (ee dept) chase@olympus.princeton.edu

Open an application such as MacWrite, then select Print from the File menu. When the Print dialog box comes up, click on OK and immediately hold down Command-K. This will save a PostScript interpretation of your file in (probably) the folder of the application you used to create it, under the name PostScript0. Upload this file to your machine, and use the `prepfix' program that is supplied with the program `macps' (available from Sumex) to munge it into the correct form. `macps' is a useful program as well. Give it a shot. Hope this helps... << Brian >> -- | Brian S.
