The best way to create a standard PostScript file depends exactly what computer platform you are using. On Macintosh and Windows systems you can use the front end's export features to create encapsulated PostScript files. On Unix platforms you can use either psfix or rasterps to convert files from Mathematica PostScript to Standard PostScript (and other formats). If you have a file containing Mathematica PostScript called "mygraphic.ps" (for example) then either psfix mygraphic.ps > mygraphic2.ps or rasterps -format ps -file mygraphic2.ps mygraphic.ps will create a new file "mygraphic2.ps" containing a standard PostScript representation of the graphic. For further details refer to the Mathematica User's Guide for your version of Mathematica. If you need further help with this I would suggest that you contact Wolfram Research Technical Support (support at wri.com, support-europe at wri.com in Europe, support-asia at wri.com in Asia) directly. I hope this helps. --Ian ----------------------------------------------------------- Ian Collier Technical Sales Support Wolfram Research, Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------- tel:(217)-398-0700 fax:(217)-398-0747 ianc at wri.com Wolfram Research Home Page: http://www.wri.com/ -----------------------------------------------------------
