   I was looking over the man page for fig2dev on our Sun and found 
    reference to these packages. Here is a copy of the text I read:


    pstex language is a variant of ps which suppresses for-
          matted  (special)  text.   The pstex_t language has the
          complementary behavior: it generates  only  LaTeX  com-
          mands  necessary to position special text, and to over-
          lay the PostScript file generated  using  pstex.  These
          two drivers can be used to generate a figure which com-
          bines the flexibility of PostScript graphics with LaTeX
          text  formatting  of  special  text.  Overlaying of the
          PostScript file uses the psfig macro package.


   Has anyone ever used this??
   I use psfig and couldn't live without it but this sounds like it
   might be just as good or better. The ability to merge PostScript
   and LaTex's math symbols would be great which is (I assume) what
   "special text" is.

   Any reply's either to the group or personal would be appreciated.

                                  Thanks in advance.

                                      John K.
