Howdy, I believe it was Gerben Weirda who wrote a script, simpdftex, that simulates pdftex but runs tex->dvi->ps->pdf for the Mac with his gwtex distribution (an extension of tetex). It comes with TeX Live on the Mac. I'm curious if it also comes standard for other CPUs. Good Luck, Herb Schulz (herbs at wideopenwest dot com)
