Does anyone out there know how to include postscript picture files as part of troff generated output? The troff output is created using memorandum macros and is in postscript format. What I'm trying to do is intersperse diagrams into the text of a report. Any help whatsoever gratefully accepted (email, if necessary, or post to this group). ****************************************************************************** * R.A.Knight, * Phone: +44 225 826058 * * School of Elec Eng, * * * The University, * JANET: eeprak@UK.AC.BATH.GDR * * Claverton Down, * UUCP: to be announced * * BATH, BA2 7AY, * ARPA: eeprak%gdr.bath.ac.uk@ucl-cs.arpa * * England. * * ******************************************************************************

It can be done automatically if you have Documentor's Workbench 2.0, or a
compatible, and the Adobe Transcript program. The compatible troff proram may
have the feature as well, consult the manual pages.
If you are using the old troff, the PostScript output file needs to be hand
edited. The Adobe pscat PostScript prolog wasn't configured for inclusion
of PostScript code. If you are using the Adsobe psroff program, consult the
psdit man page.
If you have either of the above mentioned, let me know and I'll supply details
on how to do it.

The "psroff" package that I shipped to comp.sources.unix a while back (and patches in comp.sources.bugs) will do inclusions in any of the three output formats (ditroff ("dt"), HPLJ ("lj"), and postscript ("ps")). Eg: .sR "I<my file name>" will pick up "my filename" (with .ps or .dt or .lj appended as appropriate) -- Chris Lewis, Elegant Communications Inc, {uunet!attcan,utzoo}!lsuc!eci386!clewis Ferret mailing list: eci386!ferret-list, psroff mailing list: eci386!psroff-list
