I am trying to insert a MAC-generated figure into a TeX document.

I have successfully generated the MAC postscript file, transferred it to the
VAX, included the required MAC header file, and successfully printed it on our
postscript laser printer(s). All this works fine.

Okay, now to put it into my TeX file, I have used the TeX "\special" command
and followed the directions of the "dvi2ps" manual as follows :

\special{psfile=fig.ps}
\vskip4in

and then used dvi2ps with the "-i mac.pro" option to load in the required
MAC header file. Well, it didn't work, I got the following error message :

%%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: put ]%%

Am I doing something wrong, or else neglecting something? Please help by
responding directly to najm@uicsl.csl.uiuc.edu   ......... Thanks.

Farid.
