   Could anybody help me on this? I know very few about postscript.
   I would like to include a MacDraw created figure in a TeX document.
I used "\special{psfile=*.ps}" in the TeX file, created a figure
using MacDraw II and uploaded its ps file to UNIX. Then I use "macps"
to transfer the figure to a regular ps file under UNIX. I can print this
file along by a laser jet, but what I would like to do is to include it in a
postscript file created by "dvi2ps". The print out of the document looks wierd
and the figure did not locate right. What I used to do is to create the figure
using "xfig" on UNIX and the ps file seems not a complete postscript file.
Have I used the right utility "macps"? What do I need to do?
   Any advice will be appreciated.
