I have some problems with MacDraw-Pictures including in LaTeX by psfig!
I experements with all permutations of possibilities.
I've saved the postscriptfile with the Mac by using the clover-K key (there are a
prolog before the picture begin).
I've included the Mac-postscriptfile with
\psfig{figure=<filename.ps>,prolog=mac.pro,...}
and than I've compiled it with glatex and dvips. It's all okay, but when I watch with
the psviewer or print it, the first page with a Mac-picture and all the nexct will be
ignored.
Can some people help me?!
Thanks!

We've also had lots of problems with MacDraw pictures. Here's something that seems to work for us (there must be a simpler way! 8-) 1) Use clover-F to save the drawing without a prolog. 2) Run a Unix program macps to attach a (better) prolog to the drawing. 3) Send the whole mess back to the Mac, where we run DistillPS (Glenn Reid's?) which sends the drawing to a PostScript printer and receives a simplified and condensed version of the drawing back from the printer. 4) Upload the distilled PS file to Unix and print it. Some pictures end up slightly broken after this process. A simpler thing to try: if you're adding a prolog file with "prolog=mac.pro", you probably want to use clover-F instead of clover-K to save the drawing without its own prolog. Furthermore, the latex \special should probably only include the prolog for the *first picture that will be printed* (this may be the first picture in your document, or the last, depending on how you run your printer driver). --Pat Wilcox (wilcox@cis.ohio-state.edu)
