I having looking for the following facility to be included into TeX, if
anyone of you has successfully attempted them, I would appreciate if you
let me know how.

(1) Including MacDraw and MacWrite or even MacPaint document into TeX document.
(2) Including the bib facility to produce references.
(3) Including S document into TeX document. Note that S is a statistics
    package, which will produce a file in plot format. What I did, is 
    convert the plot format into postscript form and use the command

	\special(name)

    where name is the file contain the postscript form. However, it will
    always print the graph produce by S at the bottom of a page and whatever
    text that comes after the special command will only be printed after 
    about half way through on the following page, the page header refused to
    print on the following page as well.
    The impression I got after a couple of trial is that the graph always start
    to print at the bottom of a page, I still can't find a way of shifting the
    graph to anywhere of the page. May be some of you can tell me how.
    Another thing, that we suspect is that the coordinate is in absolute values
    and hence 'confuse' TeX. I wonder whether there is a way of converting this
    so that TeX would 'understand' it when I convert the plot form into the
    postscript form. (I DON'T want to change the source of S).

Thanks in advance.
