I used the "\special" command in TeX to include a post script file
into a Tex document. The resulting dvi file was processed using dvi2ps
to produce a post script file. However, when I attempted to print this
post script file, I got a rangecheck error for the 'put' command.
Note that if I remove the \special command from my TeX document, and then
process the dvi file through dvi2ps and then print it, I get no errors.
Also, if I print the included post script file by itself, I get no
errors. Its only when I they are combined do I get errors. I guess one
of the files chenges the working environment for the other by redefining
some commands etc. etc.

We are running the TeX and dvi2ps on a Sun 3. The included post script file
was generated on a Mac 2 using the 'command-F' feature to force the system
to generate a post script file instead of sending it to the printer. I think
we have version 2.0 (June 1985) of dvi2ps and the corresponding tex.ps file.

If anybody has ideas on solving the above problem, I'd like to hear them
through email. In addition, if there is a newer version of dvi2ps or the
associated "tex.ps" header file that anyone knows about, I would appreciate
hearing about how I can get a copy.

Thank you
