Thanks, > > --Armand Prieditis Good news: ---------- You can place MacIntosh files in LaTeX or TeX. Bad News: --------- You cannot get those files on the same page as the TeX document (future?). You must include Apple's laserprep file at the beginning of document after it is run through dvi2ps. Print the macintosh documents on a machine with a laserwriter (i.e. MAC or favorite UNIX and/or VMS machine) and merge them with the TeX documents, later. For anyone who wants to know: ------------------------------ TeX and Apple (i.e. MacIntosh documents) postscript definitions take over each printed page, depending on whose turn it is. If you know postscript (language use on the laserwriter) and write the graphics and/or text routines indepedent of the device, you can place them on the same page as TeX (ArborText "Publisher" shows examples on the Sun). -- - Kevin Hobson - ARPA: hobson@rutgers.edu - UUCP: {ames, seismo, harvard, ucla-cs, cbosgd, moss}!rutgers.edu!hobson - BITNET: hobson@cancer.bitnet - Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08903 (201) 932-2260 (201) 932-5027 (201) 932-2492

I hacked up a set of TeX macros and PostScript functions to do aritrary PostScript inclusion ( including macintosh, etc... ) Only problem is it runs with dvips (from arbortext), and I have no idea when the new dvi2ps release with the \specials psfig needs will be out. Anyway it is available for anonymos ftp from linc.cis.upenn.edu; an older version was sent over net.sources a while ago and should be stored at the various net archives. --trevor Trevor Darrell trevor@linc.cis.upenn.edu | trevor@grasp.cis.upenn.edu | (215) 898-5617 University of Pennsylvania CIS dept. 200 S. 33rd st.
