Does anyone know how to include a Aldus Freehand Encapsulated Postscript
file into a LaTeX document?

At the moment I am:
1) Making the EPS file on my mac.
2) Uploading it to the Departments Unix box.
3) Stripping the MacBinary header off
4) Converting returns to newlines (3 & 4 just make it a text file)
5) Including it in my document using the epsf macros.
6) I am using dvi2ps to translate the DVI file to PostScript.
7) The printout is going to a DataProducts LZR 1260

I have used the epsf macros before on PostScript files generated by
fig2ps and it has worked just fine but for these EPS files, as soon as the
printer sees a figure, it just ignores the rest of the document i.e. I might
get the first three pages (which do not have figure on them) and the remaining
pages fall into the great bit-bucket in the sky.

Do I have to use a PostScript dump on the Mac instead of an EPS file?
Do I have to include the LaserPrep file?

Thanks for any responses!

Tony Gedge.
