Hello.  I have been trying to incorporate PostScript output from Mathematica
into a LaTeX document.  I am using a VAX/VMS system for LaTeX and an Ultrix
system for Mathematica which are both networked together and are both 
connected to an Apple LaserWriter IINT.  The commands that I have been using
have been:

On Mathematica:

Display["!psfix >> filename.ps", expr]

which takes "expr" and pipes it through psfix and generates a PostScript
file.

In LaTeX:

\special{paste filename.ps POSTSCRIPT x y}

where x (in pt) and y (in pt) are the bounding box values.

This does not seem to work.  What am I doing wrong?  Is there an easier way
to incorporate the bounding box values without looking at the PostScript file
the Mathematica generated?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Lyle
