Inclusion of Colored BMP Figures

[Ganz, Frank, SV USA]

Hi Oguzhan,

I'm assuming that you have Y&YTeX installed on your system. Even though you statement that you've never used it makes me doubt that. You can only use dvipsone if you have a Y&YTeX installation available.




>From the command prompt type:


dvipsone <filename>.dvi (where <filename> is a placeholder for the actual name of the file without < and >)

You may want to add command line flags as shown:

dvipsone -*i -v -j <filename>.dvi





>From DVIWINDO


Select dvipsone from the pull-down menu (under TeX). If this doesn't exist, you can add it to dviwindo.ini, which is located at c:\Windows or c:\WINNT.

Once dviwindo.ini is opened in a text editor, look under [Applications]; you can add the following anywhere underneath that heading:

DVIPSONE to PostScript File |F11=C:\YANDY\DVIPSONE\DVIPSONE.BAT -*i -v -j -l=letter *

Note that |F11 represents a function key. If you want to use those, make sure that F11 hasn't been asigned already.

-l=letter is optional. All other command flags I find helpful.




Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Frank
