I am a little confused about the use of the epsf option with psfix; I am hoping you'll be able to clear it up. My understanding about this option was that it would insert a raster image of a graphic into the PostScript code. But as far as I can tell, the only difference between a graphic file not treated with epsf and one that has is parameters of the bounding box, the margins, and the absence of showpage. The confusion, I think, is with the definition of Encapsulated PostScript. My motivation for this is that I want to import Mathematica graphics generated on a Sun workstation into Word for Windows on a PC. Word for Windows comes with an Encapsulated PostScript filter, but my experience has been that when I import a graphic that was run through psfix with the epsf option set all I see is a small portion of the PostScript code; I expected to see a raster image. So, what's up with that :-)? Thanks in advance. -- David Fukes Port Hueneme Division Code 4V12 Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme, CA 93043
