I am trying to get Cameron Smith's "csnb2tex" program to work on a Macintosh. (For those who may not know what the program does, it converts a Mma notebook file into a LaTeX source file and into postscript files, one each for each graphics cell in the Mma NB file) Right now, the program just dumps the "Mathematica-form" postscript directly from the graphics cell into a file. Of course, the "prolog" information that contains Mathematica's postscript macros is absent (since it is not part of the graphics cell); the correct epsf header and file Does anyone have any experience doing this or know how to concatenate the right information to the graphics cell info in order to obtain a valid epsf file? In other words, I would like to be able to (in a "batch" mode) take the postscript commands from the graphics cells in a Mma NB file and generate valid epsf files corresponding to each graphics cell. This would be the same as manually "copying" a graphics cell to the clipboard, then "converting the clipboard" into an epsf file. The output would be used along with the LaTeX source to generate documents using Textures. I have Mathematica 2.2, Mac Enhanced, LaserWriter 8.1.1, and a ps printer. I will gladly pass along a completed solution to whomever wants one as soon as I get this to work. This idea is based upon Cameron Smith's article in Vol.3 Iss. 3 of the Mathematica Journal (just a port to the Mac using Textures). Thanks, Dave McCollum mccollum at spot.colorado.edu
