I am attempting to include MacDraw figures into a TeX document using psfig and dvips and encounter the following problem: In System 7 it is possible to simply print a document as Postscript, rather than 'tricking' the printer driver into producing postscript via a Command-F. The postscript file that is produced is better than what one got in earlier versions of the system in that the printer-init appears to be included in the Postscript document. You can simply send this postscript file to a laser printer without any header file. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to work with psfig --- you get garbage all over the page. It is as if the header in the postscript file from the Macintosh is incompatible in some way with the headers used by psfig. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? . -- Justin R.
