[comp.text.tex] Including MacDraw figures in TeX documents

alexande@fillmore.cs.unc.edu (Geoffrey D. Alexander) (02/21/90)

I have been using the lprep68 package by Trevor Darrell  when including
MacDraw 1.9.5 figures in TeX documents.  Everything works most of the time;
however sometimes a page containing a figure fails to print.  Investigation
shows that the failing figure contains the following line:

     %%IncludeProcSet: "(AppleDict md)" 70 0

My understanding is that I need level 70 of the MacDraw prolog.  Does anyone
have any ideas where/how I might obtain this level of the prolog?  The lprep68
package only includes level 68 of the MacDraw prolog.

Thanks,
Geoff Alexander

	Earlier this week I contacted Trevor Darrel and asked him if
he had modified LaserPrep #70, his was  that he had not
even see LaserPrep #70. 

	My guess is that you use multiple Mac's and some have been
upgrade to LaserPrep #70 while others remain at LaserPrep #68.

	I suggest you install the old LaserPrep #68 version of
LaserWriter on your Mac with a modified namer, e.g. LaserWriter68. You
can then select that LawerWriter from the Chooser before creating your
PostScript equivalent file.
