I am using UNIX troff (-ms) and the Adobe Transcript package  for
producing PostScript output files for a SUN LaserWriter (== Apple
LaserWriter).  Are there any pre-WYSIWYG wizards out there  know-
ing  a  way  to  include  PostScript pictures (e.g. produced with
Adobe Illustrator) in the text?

By the way, I use the following command, which produces the  text
nicely centered on the LaserWriter output page; why is the change
of the vertical translate needed?

tbl file.r \
    | troff -t -ms \
    | pscat \
    | sed 's/exch def 0 792 translate/exch def 0 842 translate/' \
    | lpr -PLaserWriter
