Hello Amanda,  thanks for your info.
If you don't mind i would like to ask you some additional questions:
1) what is a PostScript prologue ?
2) no one installed psfig/TeX at our sight!  i am trying to run it
   from my own directory.  Is there an alternative to prologueing? :-)
3) i don't believe i have a distribution copy of dvips with the dist.
   could you send me a copy?

muchas gracias
gill

ps
        i am sending this here, as intercon.uucp isn't known to my host
