A lot of people are trying to include macdraw figures in TeX
using psfig and report failure. Here's how to do it:
1)ftp the transfig package from linc.cis.upen.edu
2) get the lprep68.tar from same machine
3) untar etc.
4) get the appropriate psfig files (read the manual included)
in your TeX directory.
5) follow instructions on how to include files using
psfig but DON't include any laserprep prolog.
6) run cleanfig on Mac postscript (from lprep68 package)
7) find bounding box and put it in the ps file
8) in your ps file edit the line that has " F F F F F T T psu"
to " F F F F T T T psu" ******* This is IMPORTANT ********
9) use dvi2ps (we use dvi2ps-li) with the -h header so
that it doesn't include the standard tex.ps header and
create a temporary file (say "temp").
10) use the following: " cat lprep68.pro tex.pro temp | lpr "
and you will have your mac postscript files printed as
part of TeX output. *** NOTE: the lprep68.pro and tex.pro
are from the lprep68 package.
The above prints all kinds of figures without loading
any additional prologues etc. for example, your document
may contain plain postscript, macdraw, fig drawings (use fig2ps -P )
cricketdraw, canvas, rasterfiles (sun2ps or anything equivalent).
Again the ftp address is :
linc.cis.upen.edu (10.4.0.96)
It took me a long time but now my documents look good.
