-- I am cross-posting to comp.lang.postscript with follow-ups set to comp.text.tex. I have what appears to be a common problem, but I have not found an answer yet. If anyone has the vaguest notion of something to try, please suggest it! I'm getting desperate! I have a user that draws all his figures on the MacII, and does all his documents in LaTeX (TeX 3.0, LaTeX 2.09) on a Sun3 running SOS4.1. Until recently he's been doing cut-n-paste, but now he needs to combine them for an electronic submission. We can't get it to work. I'm using dvi2ps v. 3.1, a mac-prolog trapped off our generic MacII (LaserPrep 5.2), and I have tried dvips (v. 545), but it doesn't like the /special's. I can print the macps'ed figure, and if I go in and just copy the PageBoundingBox info into the BoundingBox, I can get LaTeX to process the file, but then I get a weird assortment of errors. I know that dvi2ps works because I use it weekly with fig2dev'ed stuff. Errors from the LaserWriter Plus include (but are not limited to) %%[ Error: VMerror; OffendingCommand: imagemask ]%% %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: endTexFig ]%% Errors from the Imagen's running UltraScript include (but not limited to) %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: P2_b ]%% and something about a paper type "LT" not found. Errors vary depending on which figure I am trying to print and the phase of the moon... I am NOT a PostScripter, (tho my boss says I'm about to be) so please be kind in use of jargon.
