[comp.text] dvi2ps, LaTeX and MacDraw

arenberg@trwrb.UUCP (Jeff Arenberg) (09/21/88)

At the present I can successfully use LaTex with dvi2ps to print to an old
Apple Laserwriter on a Unix system.  I can use the \special command to
insert PostScript files that my plotting program creates.  What I want to
do now is print a picture generated by MacDraw.  I have that latest
version of laserprep-68 and I can print the MacDraw image on it's own by
prepending the laserprep and sending it to the printer.  But when I try to
use the \special command, no image of the MacDraw picture is printed, even
though the rest of the page does print.  The filed reference by the
\special has the laserprep followed by the MacDraw stuff.  So, is there
something here I don't know about?  Do the laserprep and/or tex.pro files
need to be modified to remove potential name conflicts?  Has anyone ever
successfully done this?  Please help, I need to publish my memo at the end of
the week and I can't play with this anymore.

Thanks much,

Jeff Arenberg
