I would like to be able to use them with psfig in TeX/LaTex but they seem to have 'stuff' at the front and back of each file. I believe that the files it sounds as if they were saved with the screen display version still attached. You are pretty safe in deleting all the non-ASCII stuff from the head. Your file should start with a line beginning with %! and have %%BoundingBox shortly thereafter. -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
