	I have tried to use psfig/dvips to insert macintosh documents in a 
latex file. The procedure i have followed is the following :

1) make a picture with macdraw II and output a postscript equivalent with
clover-F.
2) get the mac prolog with a clover-K on an empty picture.
3) compute the bounding box with bbfig and modify the postscript file
accordingly.
4) try to insert it in a latex file 
	\psfig{file=a.ps, pro=mac.pro}
5) latex (with no error) and dvips the file --- with no output on the printer !

The file with its prolog can be perfectly printed directly on a ps printer.
The couple psfig/dvips is otherwise perfectly working (at least on the psfig 
manual, or in draft mode). What am i doing wrong ???


Many thanks in advance,
A. Merigot
