We are running a network of Suns with an attatched Laserwriter. Of
course, I have a Mac at home. Most of my word-processing is done
in TeX, and I would dearly love to be able to embed my graphics
(in postscript form) in my TeX documents.
So, at home, I use MacDraw to produce the graphics (although doing the
graphics on the Sun would make a lot of sense, I have neither seen nor
heard of an equivalent program for the Sun). Use command-k to generate
the ps file, and ship the file to my Unix machine.
If I lw the ps file, the graphics print out just fine. However, if I
embed the file in the TeX source, and use the PrintChart command supplied
by ArborText to print the file, nothing at all prints! I have concluded
that there is some incompatability between the environment set-up
by ArborText's dvips and the LaserPrep file (version 65) supplied by Apple.
Does anyone have any suggestions, recommendations, or words of encouragement?
Thanks
