+\section{Introduction}
+
+The Macintosh computers use their own set of internal commands (`QuickDraw')
+to store graphics.  When the Macintosh converts these commands to
+\Ps, it creates the \Ps\ file using a set of non-standard definitions. 
+Since these definitions are 
+non-standard, it can be tricky to print Macintosh figures from other computers
+since these other computers do not often know what these definitions are.
+This document tries to give a simple (but not foolproof) method of
+including Macintosh figures in \TeX\ or \LaTeX. NOTE: This document is to be
+used in addition to the {\em Psfig/\TeX\ User's Guide}.
+
+\section{Capture the Figure}
+
+There are several ways of capturing the \Ps\ output of MacDraw or some
+other Macintosh program. One way is by typing  
+\psfig{figure=macclover.ps}-F immediately after 
+clicking `OK' on the print dialog box. The file is always called `PostScript'
+and is left in the folder of the Macintosh application you are using.  
+The file
+may also be located in the `Spool Folder' in the `System Folder'.
+\begin {itemize}
+\item If the Print Monitor program is running, it may not allow you to write the
+file to disk.
+In this case you must turn background printing off.  Go to the {\em Chooser}
+desk accessory and click the `background printing off' box.
+\end{itemize}
+Newer printer dialogs have a box you can click on to send the
+output to a disk (\Ps) file.
+Also print the figure as you would normally.  You will need this later to
+determine the `Bounding Box'.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If you are using the System 7.0 LaserWriter Dialog: The print
+dialog that comes with System 7.0 has a box that allows you to print
+the document to a \Ps\ file.  Unfortunately, the entire LaserPrep file
+is included along with the document. After you have transferred the file
+to the computer with \TeX\ on it (see below), run the program \verb|cleanps|
+to get rid of the unwanted LaserPrep info.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Transfer the figure}
+
+Transfer the \Ps\ file you made to a computer that has \TeX\ on it.  You
+may do this using the Telnet program (and ftp) on the Macintosh.
+
+\section{Find the Bounding Box}
+
+Unfortunately, Macintosh does not conform to the standard of
+specifying the Bounding Box of the graphics it prints.  Therefore you
+must determine the Bounding Box yourself.  Take the printout of the
+figure you made in Step 1, and a ruler. Imagine the smallest
+box that completely 
+encloses the figure.  Now measure the left are right sides of the box
+from the left edge of the paper (Fig.~\ref{fig-bb}).  Do 
+the same for the top and bottom
+sides from the bottom edge of the paper. 
+\begin{figure}
+  \psfig{figure=macbb.ps,bbllx=1.5in,bblly=5.9in,bburx=5.6in,bbury=10.2in}
+  \caption{Finding the Bounding Box of a figure}
+  \label{fig-bb}
+\end{figure}
+
+\section{Editing the \TeX\ file}
+
+Near the beginning of your \TeX\ file (in addition to the
+line \verb|\input{psfig}|, insert the command
+\begin{verbatim}
+\special{header=lprep68.pro}
+\end{verbatim}
+This file is a properly edited version of the Apple LaserPrep file that is
+sent to the printer by the Macintosh. 
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Note that the version number (68 in this case) must be the same
+as the version of the LaserPrep file that the \Ps\ file was created with.
+Look at the \Ps\ file and find the line that says `(AppleDict md)'.  The
+number after this is the version of the LaserPrep file.  If this number
+is 71, you would have to use the file `lprep71.pro' instead.
+\end{itemize}
+Now where you want the figure to be included, insert the command
+\begin{quote}
+\verb|\psfig{figure=|{\em filename}
+\verb|,bbllx=#in,bblly=#in,bburx=#in,bbury=#in}|
+\end{quote}
+where the number (\verb|#|) you insert after \verb|bbllx| is the
+left side of the Bounding Box,
+\verb|bblly| is the bottom, \verb|bburx|
+is the right side, and \verb|bbury| is the top. This example shows the
+box dimensions in inches (\verb|in|). 
+
+
+\section{Printing the file}
+
+Use the program \verb|dvips| to print the \TeX\ file to the printer.  As
+of this writting \verb|dvi2ps| will not work with Macintosh figures.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The file should print out on any printer (not just an Apple LaserWriter).
+If you have troubles printing a file, try 
+turning off/on the printer to erase any incompatible commands.
+
+\item As of this writing, non-resident fonts included in version 71 \Ps\ files
+will not print on non-Apple printers (This is a bug in lprep71.pro).
+
+\item If you still have trouble printing a figure
+Use the \verb|cleanps| program on each of your \Ps\ figure files.  You
+may also have to run \verb|cleanps| with the \verb|-f| option if your
+file contains loaded (non-resident) fonts.
+\end{itemize}
+This document was composed using \LaTeX\ (ver. \latexver) and Psfig 
+(ver. \psfigver) using version \lprepver\
+Mac \Ps\ files. It was printed using dvips (ver. \dvipsver) to 
+an Apple LaserWriter.
