Funny you should ask, I have just spent the last couple of days learning FrameMaker and raving about it being able to do everying that I have come to expect from my Mac, but I wasted most of yesterday trying to import a Mathematica ps file into FrameMaker and am now very dissapointed in FM. If you look in the index of the FrameMaker reference guide under Postscript, it will refer you to a table near the back, which lists graphics formats that may be used, these vary according to what machine you are on, people with Macs and NeXTs seem to be pretty well off in general, X-users seem to left wishing. As far as I can tell, at the moment all X-users can do is display the ps graphic, use "Capture" from the "File" menu, then "Import" that bitmap graphic. It unfortunately has the jaggies (aliasing) from the screen that one has come to expect from ps not to be in the final printout. FM will take Encapsulated Post Script, but it doesn't seem that is what Mathematica produces. A filter from regular PostScript to EPSI (if possible) may help. If you find out more please let me know, currently I'm considering going back to TeX, (yuck!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Karl Frederick Arrington Private: 617-353-6181 Center for Adaptive Systems Office: 617-353-7857 Cognitive and Neural Systems Program email: karl at park.bu.edu (ARPANET) Boston University 111 Cummington Street, Second Floor Boston, Massachusetts 02215 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
