One of my main gripes about FrameMaker is it's inability to generate encapsulated PostScript. However, at least for TeX, single-page FrameMaker output can be used in \specials by redefining /letter and /showpage. -jim Jim Helman Department of Applied Physics Durand 012 Stanford University FAX: (415) 725-3377 (jim@KAOS.stanford.edu) Work: (415) 723-9127

If you're using ditroff, check out psfig. It's a pre-processor (a la pic, grap, eqn, and tbl) for including PostScript files in documents generated from ditroff source. There are two versions of psfig, one for embedding PostScript figures in ditroff source and another for doing so in TeX source. These are available in volume 11 and volume 8, respectively, of the comp.sources.unix archives (available via anonymous ftp from uunet.uu.net and elsewhere). Alternatively, it's also available via anonymous ftp from linc.cis.upenn.edu and this may be a more recent version, since that's whence the authors hail. You may still need to make some minor modifications to your FrameMaker document, but I think psfig for ditroff is pretty robust; it doesn't require EPSF (Encapsulated PostScript File Format) files. Good luck.
