I have a package that does what you want and more, called ``psfig/tex'', only problem being at this moment it only works with dvips from ArborText. Dvi2ps support should be in the next release (of dvi2ps); all that is needed is adding a literal postscript pass through to dvi2ps. I have just recieved a beta copy of the new dvips that has psfig support (hasn't even been untar'ed yet...), and I'm going to take a quick look at retrofitting the \special code into the exisiting dvi2ps to tide people over for the short term. In any case you can ftp it from linc.cis.upenn.edu; first get psfigtex.README then read that and decide what files you want. (the source itself is quite small, but the entire documentation bundle has some huge figures) It was also send over mod.sources (aka. comp.sources.unix) several months ago and should be in the various archive sites. > -- Mike Jipping > jipping@cs.uiowa.edu --trevor trevor@linc.cis.upenn.edu ps. (the troff version of this (actually the original) will be availble for ftp shortly, after some distribution issues are resolved with adobe systems).
