I'm trying to print a latex document with Mac generated postscript
figures in it (specifically, it's the documentation for the xlispstat
package). The README file sez:
"The psfig system is used to include Macintosh postscript figures.
Getting this stuff to print is a nuissance; with our LaserWriter and dvi to
postscript conversion tool I use the command
dvi-ps -r -i dvifix.ps -i mac68.pro -i figtex.pro techreport |lpr -Pps
to print things out; with a different dvi to postscript urility you may need to
use a different approach."
Indeed so. I have version 3.1 of Coombes' dvi2ps which comes with its
own version of psfig. I've tried various combinations of the psfig
stuff which came with xlispstat and dvi2ps and can't get the latex doc
to print properly; the closest I can come is when dvi2ps generates
such messages as:
[13Invalid keyword or value in \special - ""17169039" ignored
Invalid keyword or value in \special - ""endTexFig"" ignored
and the figures come out on the page, but overlap the text.
Basically I'm a quite elementary user of tex/latex/psfig and just want
to print the document without getting into all the details. Can
anybody tell me what the magic combination of commands & files is
needed?
