I use Mathematica , which writes graphs in PostScript. I have a LaserJet+ printer where I can process and print DVI files from TeX (really LaTeX). My (vain?) hope is that there exists a program whereby I can translate the Mathematica PS output into DVI and using Beebe's driver then put it out on the LaserJet+. My thanks, once again, Omar A.

It would depend on what use Mathematica makes of the Postscript; Postscript is a programming language (remember the PS program to calculate fibonacci numbers on a LaserWriter?) but DVI is not. If the PS contains no more than font definitions and pen movement etc then you probably could do it; its my guess that Mathematica would produce simple-minded PS unless the authors like stack-based languages... You might have to use a macroprocessor to expand any local definitions at the top of the file. -- Ian W Moor UUCP: uunet!mcvax!ukc!icdoc!iwm ARPA: iwm@doc.ic.ac.uk JANET: iwm@uk.ac.ic.doc Department of Computing We don't need no documentation, Imperial College.
