Here are some laserprep 68 files and figures I have modified to work with psfig/tex (so far I have only tested it with dvi2ps-li) roadmap: lprep68.pro - a laserprep 68 prolog that works with psfig rosette.ps - the cannonical postscript figure macdraw.fig68 - a macdraw 1.9.5 figure bullet.fig68 - a Canvas 2.0 figure dave.fig68 - a cricketdraw figure tex.pro - a modified tex.pro for dvi2ps-li (I just removed @MacSetUp) doc.tex - a test document that includes all four figures doc.ps.tjd - what I get after latex doc; dvi2ps doc > doc.ps cleanfig - a shell script that converts CR->LF, strips %%EOF and inserts a default %%BoundingBox cleannl.c - trivial C pgm to do CR->LF (I couldnt get tr(1) to do this!) ==================================================================== I had been bottlenecked by several problems: 1) The CAP/KIP AppleTalk<=>Unix print spooler I use interprets a %%EOF comment to be as good as a ^D, *anywhere* in a job. Since all Mac Figures have a gratuitous %%EOF at the end, I was running into a brick wall until trying to include them and then wondering why only blank pages came out. (e.g. I had a figure and then a showpage.... :-( ) Fix: The script cleanfig cleans up a figure captured with c-F and then transported across appletalk. 2) All in all only minor modifications were needed to laserprep68 (captured from a MACII using c-k on macdraw 1.9.5) to get it working inside of psfig. I modified /cp and /txpose Fix: The file lprep68.pro is a modified version of a captured laserprep that can be prepended to documents using lp68 figures. 3) In our appletalk environment, I discovered other appletalk clients often force a laserprep down into the server, which may disrupt the overloading of lprep68.pro. Fix: The file lprep68.fix can be prepended to any document with lp68 figures being sent to a printer that already has an original laserprep 68 downloaded. ================================================================= Let me know how this works for you all..... --trevor
