In comp.text.tex from Aug 3, Una Smith asks about LaTeX and Mathematica. The problem is that the postscript that Mathematica generates is not standard postscript. It uses higher level operators that are built into Mathematica's postscript interpreters so from within Mathematica the files can be printed, or displayed. However, when a file is created that will be sent to a printer outside of Mathematica (like when you merge it with a TeX file), you must make the definitions of the higher level operators available to the printer. Under Unix, Mathematica has a command psfix (actually a shell script) that tacks the definitions onto the file and then the file can be printed or embedded in a TeX document. psfix also has an option to create an Encapsulated Postscript file. I'm not sure how this problem is handled on the Macintosh or any other system. Hope this helps. Malki
