[comp.text.tex] OffendingCommand:startTexFig

4203_5132@uwovax.uwo.ca (03/25/91)

  Please don't flame me for posting the umpteenth article on this subject
but I have exhausted all my resources here and need help.

  I am trying to include a postscript figure in a paper I am writing
for a seminar.  The original picture is a sun rasterfile.  I perform
an xwd (x window dump) on the figure, and use xwd2ps to create the 
postscript file.  It is encapsulated postscript.  I am using the psfig
macros recommended in FAQ.  I have yet to be able to print even the
simplest document, viz

  \begin{document}
  \section{Pitcutre}
  \par
  \psfig{figure=standard.eps,height=4in}
  \par
  \end{document}

with some simple text around the \par nesting.  Even worse, I can not
even print the documentation that came with the macro package.  I am
running off a Vax, using dvips to convert the .dvi file.  The LaTeX
step executes (as well as the dvips) flawlessly.

  The crunch: When I try to print, printing aborts before even one page
has been printed with the 'error encountered during PostScript processing'
message and the operand stack (always 6, seven digit numbers), and then
the line:

  %%[Error:undefined;Offending Command: startTexFig]%%

  Any help out there?  I would at least like to be able to print the 
documentation!

Thanks in advance...
