on ymir.claremont.edu in the directory [anonymous.tex.documentation]
there is an article by Len Schwer explaining the problem at some
length and giving a good tutorial on the whole process of including
Mac graphics into a LaTeX document. That directory also contains two
files: LASERPREP68.POSTSCRIPT and LASERPREP65.POSTSCRIPT which are
edited versions of the Macintosh PS profile suitable for use in the
context of mac.pro above. (If somebody has done this with
LASERPREP70, please let me know and I'll toss it into the directory).
