Good news:
----------
You can place MacIntosh files in LaTeX or TeX.

Bad News:
---------
You cannot get those files on the same page as the TeX document
(future?). You must include Apple's laserprep file at the beginning of
document after it is run through dvi2ps. Print the macintosh documents
on a machine with a laserwriter (i.e. MAC or favorite UNIX and/or VMS
machine) and merge them with the TeX documents, later.

For anyone who wants to know:
------------------------------
TeX and Apple (i.e. MacIntosh documents) postscript definitions take
over each printed page, depending on whose turn it is. If you know
postscript (language use on the laserwriter) and write the graphics
and/or text routines indepedent of the device, you can place them on
the same page as TeX (ArborText "Publisher" shows examples on the
Sun).
