The following is the begining to feal like a saga. I have used MacDraw and Cricket Graph to make some pretty pictures. I saved the files without laserprep headers as postscript and using super drive wrote a dos disk containing all the postscript. I also have a file with no figure in it for the laser prep header. I have macps and prepfix running here (MSDOS) and the individual postscript process by macps works fine. The files print just fine on a Unix networked laser printer. OK, now to include them in a troff document. So I used a macro that was posted here not too long ago called .BB. Which takes arguments filename x1 x2 y1 y2 from the bounding box info. (Mac Draw uses bounding page). The .BB macro calls .Cs $1 ($2-$4)p ($4-$5)p (or something like that). So i have text surrounding a none diverted figure like follows. .LP text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .BB filename 31 32 531 745 .LP text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text Then I run eroff which is Troff -dps -mero -ms BB.mac test.ms | eps I get no errors and no output except the first block of text. I called Elan, and the preson I spoke to said try moving it around useing the bounding box as a starting point. Also she said remove the line in the header from the prepfix'd version of the laser prep that says /load initgraphics. I did all this and .... no difference. Any ideas out there? I was a bit disappointed at the expertise of the Elan techincal help. Maybe this is too difficult. I also looked at the postscript, and the ditroff output, all of these properly include the postscript file and do the usual saves of the environments, and then restores after the file. And the changes in the positioning move the starting point of the include file all over the virtual page. So, I am at a loss. -- Frank Kolakowski ====================================================================== |lfk@athena.mit.edu || Lee F.
