mojo@reed.UUCP (it's alright ma, I'm only bleeding) (02/01/90)
I am frantically trying to include smallish (under a page) chunks of
PostScript in a LaTeX document. (I can generate the PS on a Mac, a NeXT, or
possibly a collection of UN*X boxes; I don't care as long as it happens, but
generating from a Mac would be preferable.) I'm using Tom Rocicki's dvips
v4.21 on either a Vax or a DECStation 3100 (BSD 4.2 and Ultrix v-whatever
respectively).
So far, I've tried:
the psfig utility (prints the picture, but on a page by itself)
\special{psfile=...} (various results depending on how & whether I
specify the bounding box by hand; nothing better than psfig)
\epsffile (prints nothing)
\special{"...included PostScript galore...} (prints nothing, mostly,
depending on the exact nature of the PostScript)
(The last option does print the rest of the page, upside down and backwards,
if I take out the @beginspecial, @setspecial, and @endspecial calls, but
that's not really the objective.)
NeXT's FrameMaker does exactly what I want, but after looking at the
PostScript code and hacking it up in several places I am unable to figure
out how; at best, I get a page with text but no picture (and no space for
one).
Has anybody done this successfully?
Thanks in advance.
Nathan

If you can send me an Email path I can send you a difference file for LaserPrep 65 or 68. Sorry I don't what the gateway is to UUCP sites. --Len Schwer micro2.schwer@crvax.sri.com
