I'm interested in corresponding with anyone who has succeeded in merging postscript generated by Mac applications such as MacDraw or Illustrator, into ditroff input, to get merged ditroff text & Apple postscript graphics on the same page. I've tried this using: TranScript 2.1 (psdit) LaserPrep 5.2 SunOS 4.0.3 Apple LaserWriter Plus (sort of works) Imagen 2308 with ultrascript and Apple dictionary dictv52.ps (doesn't work; quits with error message) I followed the suggestions given on the psdit man page to merge in the postscript, and various permutations thereof, but ditroff text is either lost, or appears on the next page, when printing to the LaserWriter. Adobe doesn't seem to know whether this is possible; but they won't talk with me anyway, since I'm not an Adobe developer. I'm not particularly eager to learn the entire Apple dictionary. :-( Ed Arnold * NCAR * POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307-3000 * 303-497-1253(w) era@ncar.ucar.edu [128.117.64.4] * era@ncario.bitnet * era@ncar.uucp "See, the human mind is kind of like ... a pinata.
