I want to have Mma save some graphics as post script (or even eps). When I use "Save as EPS" in the menu I get very bad quality for some reason. What I'm doing now is the following: copying the cell that contains the graphics into a separate notebook, then under the print menu I save the notebook as ps. This gives good quality, but the annoying feature is that it also places the notebook title at the top of the page. I just got a new book that seems to be pretty nice (Mathematica: A Practical Approach by Nancy Blachman -- you should check it out if you are rather new to Mma like myself) and it said I could use "Display" to write ps -- Display["filename.ps",graphics]. However, the output "filename.ps" is not quite ready for a printer yet. I need to process this file some how with "psfix". Do I do this from a shell? When I tried "psfix filename.ps" the command was not found; however, "psfix" is in my man pages. Does anyone know what could be wrong here? Thanks. bob singleton bobs at thnext.mit.edu
