1. I usually make two-column documents to submit to journals,
and insert postscript figs with psfigs. This works very nicely
with figs of about one column width which is the size I want.
Now i am working on a one-column doc and the same procedure
leaves all the space to the right of the fig blank. How can I
make the text flow around the figure?
floatfig.sty or wrapfig.sty (both available at CTAN) might be of use
to wrap text around your figures.

People with the fink mailing list have been saying that OS X has some bug
with ghostscript 7 so you'll need to keep or
reinstall ghostscript 6. I guess it's the same problem with TeXShop.

Yes, I didn't notice the second comma.

For the benefit of other novice users here, the following is how I got =
pdfscreen to work making slides the way I needed them. It may help =
someone else, so here it is:
there are two other files that go with this one:
a couple of other notes:
* I had to set the footers in the first slide environment
* When I reset a footer with \cfoot, it affects the previous slide

version). Please run the following command in a Terminal window.
kpsewhich --expand-var '${pool_size}'

Great! Hope they did well. Thanks to all who replied. I searched the web
and found 'wrapfig.sty' and that has solved my problem of how to 'flow'
text around a fig in one column mode.
