I hope problems like this will be solved once and for all someday.
Ok. here is the problem:
I got dvips40 working for plain text files. However, there are
some incompatibilities with psfig.
The first is simple to fix. Psfig puts postscript text into the
file using a \special{pstext= ..} while dvips expects \special{" ...}
I changed that in psfig.tex
The second is that it simply refuses to print figures. I keep
getting a diagnostic "nocurrentpoint offending command currentpoint".
It is clear that the problem is somewhere in the startTeXfig definition
dvips uses. Before I fixed problem one (above) the figure would be printed
but in the wrong position. After I fixed it, I get the above diagnostic
(by the way I'm using lprep68.pro with the command
"dvips -h lprep68.pro file", printing on an imagen with ultrascript)
Can anybody help??
Thanks in advance
