[comp.text.tex] Trouble with Psfig and TeX 3.0

gandalf@vision.auc.dk (Lars & Tina (stud. f90)) (08/03/90)

Has anybody experienced problems using Trevor Darell's Psfig with TeX
3.0 ? 
We have recently changed from TeX 2.997 to 3.0 but now we are having
trouble inserting figures. When trying to insert a figure TeX runs OK
but dvi2ps comes up with the following error messages:

  Invalid keyword or value in \special - "ps::[begin]" ignored
  Invalid keyword or value in \special - "3882440" ignored
  Invalid keyword or value in \special - "2957547" ignored
  Invalid keyword or value in \special - "19800309" ignored

  Invalid keyword or value in \special - "figs/zip.ps" ignored
  Invalid keyword or value in \special - "ps::[end]" ignored
  Invalid keyword or value in \special - "endTexFig" ignored

The dvi2ps used is the one from linc.cis.upenn.edu (same site as
psfig).

Any suggestions or hints much appreciated,

Use dvips and you should be okay.  Psfig does not work correctly with
dvi2ps.  You should be able to get dvips from one of the archives.
