Hi folks --
I work with a lab whose member mostly use Wordstar on PCs <shudder>
and I use LaTeX on a Sun. They want to keep everything standard (like
proposals, papers, etc.), and I want to avoid using Wordstar and PCs
in general. I know there's a Wordstar to Latex program (on Clarkson),
but I haven't been able to find one going the other way around. Does
anyone have such a program or know where I can find one? And what
kind of strange things will I have to do to get files from the Sun to
the PC to preserve whatever weird characters are in the file (the
Wordstar to LaTeX source said something about 7- vs 8-bit bytes...)?
Thanks a lot.
--Roy

Dear netters, I am desperately looking for a filter which translates GEM pictures into PostScript. The PostScript generated by my latest version of GEM Draw and GEM output cannot be interpreted by our printers. What I actually want is including GEM pictures into my LaTex documents.

Try mfps. You can get it by anonymous ftp from unido.informatik.uni-dortmund.de, file /pub/textproc/Postscript/mfps-6.1.tar.Z. However, I always used this program on my Atari ST but it should run under Unix, too. -- Dipl.-Inform. Rainer Klute klute@irb.informatik.uni-dortmund.de Univ.
