mojo@reed.bitnet (the Doubtful Guest) (02/06/90)
When I run psfig using EPS output from a NeXT, dvips generates error messages
based on the fact that "pstext" is not a valid \special keyword. I tried
replacing \special{pstext="blah"} with \special{"blah}, which is what the
manpage seems to indicate, but had no luck---the PostScript file suffers
from a nocurrentpoint error somewhere, and there are about n calls to
currentpoint in a 40K file, so I don't really want to fix it by hand.
This is with Tom Rokicki's (Radical Eye Software) dvips 4.21; the version of
psfig seems to date from January 1987. (Is there a newer one?)
Anybody know how to hack around this problem?
