I have the latest TeX/LaTeX distribution installed on my Sun. When I use the \special command to include postscript files (in this case psplot output) I always get a page eject before and after the included postscript. I think the problem is in the tex.ps header. In any case, it seems to be a dvi2ps problem. Anybody else run into this problem and have a fix? Thanks very much! -Bob Wise Stratus Computer rmwise@cloud9.uucp 508-460-2968

The tex.ps header does not completely disable page ejects making it completely impossible to ever to do a page eject in an included file. It's not clear that this is a "problem" that should be "fixed." Your problem is solved by you taking the "showpages" out of the file you want to include. If "woof.plot" is the plot in plot(5) format you want to include psplot woof.plot | sed "s/showpage//g" > woof.ps gives you a file to include that has no page ejects in it. Hope this helps.
