This posting follows after a lack of success in getting the problem
solved here at OSU. What is happening is I have a set of postscript
files created using framemaker, and when trying to use \special to
include these files in a latex figure, nothing appears on my printouts
after using dvi2ps. Ok, here goes:
Ok, after some incantation, I got the
\special{psfile=my-favorite-graph.ps \hoffset=etc.} to include the
figure in the printout. It actually worked and I was happy. Now I
have a lot of figures in my current opus, and nothing comes out again.
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? (I'm sorry that
Framemaker doesn't do bibliographies because I could set up the diss
format fast).
Frustratedly yours (macdraw + glue stick + scissors is easier
than \special),
Mike
The problem is not with my \special declarations because when I create
documents such as:
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\vpspace{5in}
\special{psfile=myfile voffset=-500 hoffset=-500}
\caption{Yes, it did work}
\label{spaz}
\end{figure}
\ref{spaz}
\end{document}
it did work. Now I include about 5 ps files and it doesn't. I appreciate
the help and look for more comments.
