I am using UNIX troff (-ms) and the Adobe Transcript package for
producing PostScript output files for a SUN LaserWriter (== Apple
LaserWriter). Are there any pre-WYSIWYG wizards out there know-
ing a way to include PostScript pictures (e.g. produced with
Adobe Illustrator) in the text?
By the way, I use the following command, which produces the text
nicely centered on the LaserWriter output page; why is the change
of the vertical translate needed?
tbl file.r \
| troff -t -ms \
| pscat \
| sed 's/exch def 0 792 translate/exch def 0 842 translate/' \
| lpr -PLaserWriter
