Does this mean I should look up the syntax of dvips & figure out something to substitute for those mysterious-looking arguments? At the moment, Google seems to be down. In the meantime, I have noticed in _A Guide to Latex_ that "the color package...recognizes the options: ...dvipsnames...usenames...". So I tried \usepackage[dvips]{graphics,lscape,color,dvipsnames} but Latex merely complained that it couldn't find dvipsnames.sty. There is no such file anywhere on my system. Same with usenames. -- --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: He knew what's what, and that's as high :|| ||: As metaphysic wit can fly. :||
