Does anybody happen to know how to put pictures generated on the MAC into the troff and Latex documents? My friend told me this: (1) Save the work in EPS format (2) copy the EPS file to the Latex document folder (3) call \psfig macro with the name of the EPS file whenever you want it (4) run dvips to translate the .dvi file into postscript file (5) send the postscript file to the laser writer. Is it correct? Do I need the dictionary file (Appledict.h?)? Could anybody send me a copyof psfig.tex and the sourcefile of dvips? I use troff a lot. Does anyone know the procedure to work with troff?

The easiest way is to use LaTeX on the Macintosh. Trying to put the cmd-F equivalent in is abysmally difficult. I've heard of people who captured the output of macps and successfully used that, but those are unconfirmed rumors. > >My friend told me this: > (1) Save the work in EPS format > (2) copy the EPS file to the Latex document folder > (3) call \psfig macro with the name of the EPS file whenever you want it > (4) run dvips to translate the .dvi file into postscript file > (5) send the postscript file to the laser writer. > >Is it correct?

EPS is supposed to be a directly-portable format, so no special dictionaries are (generally) needed. Again, this has not been directly confirmed by me. f o d d e r -- Jeffrey A.
