In order for psfig/TeX to work, some additional definitions must be added to the PostScript prologue for your DVI->PS driver. These defintions are pretty straightforward, and the psfig/TeX distribution contains examples for (and old version of) dvi2ps and ArborText's dvips. Whoever installed dvi2ps and/or psfig/TeX at your site should be able to fix it, given this information. -- Amanda Walker <amanda@intercon.UUCP>

If you don't mind i would like to ask you some additional questions: 1) what is a PostScript prologue ? 2) no one installed psfig/TeX at our sight! i am trying to run it from my own directory. Is there an alternative to prologueing? :-) 3) i don't believe i have a distribution copy of dvips with the dist. could you send me a copy? muchas gracias gill ps i am sending this here, as intercon.uucp isn't known to my host
