This is a document to show platform interoperability of LaTeX with
EPSF pictures.

The document contains text and graphics and can be typeset equally
well on the Mac and any UNIX platform.

On C90 and XMP:
- make sure the LaTeX fonts are active Menu:<Apple>:Suitcase open
  font suitcase for LaTeX.
- all figures are in the paper.fig folder including some of the
  original canavas and DeltaGraph files to produce them.
- don't forget to turn fonts off (close suitcase) after using LaTeX.

On your own Mac:
- make sure you get OUR version of "epsf.sty" and "epsf.tex" and
  some of the common style files like times.sty and acm.sty styles.
  
On a unix/OSF platform:
- just use latex and dvips. Use ghostscript or dxvdoc as a viewer.

Benchmarks:
Typesetting, previewing on C90:         83sec
Typesetting, previewing on QUADRA700:  
Typesetting, previewing on POWERPC:    
Typesetting, previewing on HEBE (Alpha):

CAVEAT: The master tex file, the figure files (eps and the orginal charts)
have two forks, the resource and data forks. UNIX only needs the data fork
loaded the text or the postscript. The server stores the resource fork in 
an invisible directory named .resource. So dont move single files around in unix 
unless you are sure you move both forks and the finderinfo around as well. (e.g. you
(Thi is when you move the whole figure folder with cp -r). If you plan
heavy editing on both platforms (UNIX amd Mac) you have to be careful not
to corrupt the resource fork of the master latex file. It worked best for
me to store all the content into "paper-content.tex" and leave the paper.tex
untouched as a kind of a shell. Since paper-content.tex is never "typeset"
it does not need a resource fork and you can't corrupt it.
