For longer that I would like to admit I've been trying to include postscript
figs generated on a Mac into a TeX doc.

My latest attempt was to buy Canvas 3.0.4 which will output EPSF.  When 
xfered to my Unix box, the EPSF file prints correctly.  (The TeX generated text
without the fig prints equally well.)  Whenever the EPSF file is included 
everything looks wonderful in a ghostview window, but the printer gives
a dictfull error.

Here's the relavent specs.
TeX 3.x /LaTeX 2.09		LaserWriter IINT
dvips 5.47 (Rad. Eye)
epsf,psfig.sty's

The error:
%%[ Error: dictfull; OffendingCommand: def ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

I'm about to the point of cut and paste.  :````(
