The Apple LaserPrep mutilates the current environment so badly that TeX can't get anything to work. As I understand it, LaserPrep is simply a set of PS macros that establish an environment very similar to a Mac screen and then the Mac just spews QuickDraw-type calls out to the printer for evaluation. Icky. You might try looking at the file with MicroEMACS or the like and removing all the environment setting cr*p that Apple includes. -- David Boyes ARPA: 556%OREGON1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Systems Division BITNET: 556@OREGON1 University of Oregon Computing Center UUCP: dboyes@uoregon.UUCP ---------------------------------------- Submissions to: desktop%plaid@sun.com -OR- sun!plaid!desktop Administrivia to: desktop-request%plaid@sun.com -OR- sun!plaid!desktop-request Paths: {ihnp4,decwrl,hplabs,seismo,ucbvax}!sun Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ We live and learn, but not the wiser grow -- John Pomfret (1667-1703)
