Subject: Multiple page postscrip include?

Recently I've needed to include a several page poscript file inside a
LaTeX document, but haven't had much success. I am reasonably
experienced at including single encapsulated postscript files in LaTeX
documents, but have had no success with multiple page files.

I need to include some publications within a thesis, and would prefer
that the entire document be formed as a single LaTeX file.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Iain.

I assume you're using dvips (most people are, but you don't say)

The documentation explains how to include encapsulated PostScript, and
I had read it as saying that this is the *only* thing you can include.

When I posted a response on exactly this subject on comp.text.tex last
week, saying exactly that, I was told that the documentation doesn't
*say* anywhere that it won't take any but encapsulated PostScript; but
rest assured that it won't.

>I need to include some publications within a thesis, and would prefer

You have the PostScript of the publications?  Do you also have access
to the LaTeX original?  If so, could you not hack that into your
document?  If not, you're into either hacking single pages out of the
PostScript, or using some sort of psconcat program (of which I know of
none, but no doubt they exist somewhere or other...).

Subject: SetFigFont

I know I've asked this question here before, but why oh why oh why do
xfig figures exported as latex include \SetFigFont's which my latex2e
complains about? Am I missing a style file or something? 
(N.B. I do not want to export things as eps and then \epsffile them as
I want to take advantage of some of latex's typesetting in the figure
itself)

\section TeX Implementations for Small Computers

\subsection PC and Mac disks

    From January 1994 the UK TeX Users' Group is distributing an
    emTeX kit for PCs, and an OzTeX kit for Macintosh. The cost

    CM fonts. Two update disks a year will be sent out
    automatically, with the current version of LaTeXe, and other
    goodies. A subscription service will be available for
    subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to
    3 disks a year with any material from the CTAN archives, but
    this will be supplied `as is', without instructions.
