It has been an exercise in frustration...I have a bunch of circuit diagrams from a Mac that I'm trying to incorporate into my LaTeX doc on a Sun. I've tried macps, and I get postscript files that print fine by themselves, but if I try to include them with dvips's psfile= construct, I get garbage! Using the "save" option, I get an error from the printer; not having the additional save-restore I get a mess for a figure (the caption prints fine). I don't really want to use EPS conventions since I'd like to flexibly rescale the drawings (most are a little big, and dvips includes vscale and hscale options), plus BoundingBox computations are a little dicey. (I tried bbfig, and the box clips the edges of some of the circuit elements. The Mac uses LaserPrep5.0; I'm not really in a position to change it.
