I enjoyed reading this thread since CS students here I teach like to =20
(or are required to) do such computations and the more ways to do it, =20=
the more interesting the problem to them.
I called up my Maple and couldn't get a reading on how fast it =20
computed 200!, so I entered tim():=3Dtop:2000!:tim()-top; and got 0.001 =20=
sec, while tim():=3Dtop:2000!;tim()-top; actually shows the digits and =20=
takes 0.004 seconds. This was on a dual processor G4. That's all the =20
time I plan to spend on the problem. 8-)

Hi Bob
Elementary is fine.
It has all worked out this way.
Open terminal and type;
Welcome to Darwin!
George-Ghios-Computer:~ georgeghio$ cd /Users/georgeghio/Desktop/TeX
Hit return & type
George-Ghios-Computer:~/Desktop/TeX georgeghio$ htlatex
/Users/georgeghio/Desktop/TeX/TheFlight.tex
Hit return I then get the html file,
I then open the html file with Explorer,
Select all,
Copy,
Paste into word.
If I try to open the html file with word MS does what it does best and
crashes.
Oh well, it works and I end up with a word document.
Thank you and everyone else for taking the time to keep me from
becoming a basket case.

No, there is no easier way yet with PostScript fonts! If the logo would
be a TrueType or OpenType font you might be able to use it without
complications in XeTeX/XeLateX, but PostScript seems to be declared
dead by Apple. (There is Fontforge that could convert PostScript to
TrueType)
To repeat: to use a PostScript font you need its accompanying AFM file,
because that's the basis to create the TFM file for TeX use. If you use
dvips or pdfTeX you too need an entry in a MAP file that tells dvips or
pdfTeX that this font in not MF (METAFONT) based but a scalable vector
based font. This missing MAP file entry is the reason that pdfTeX
invokes mf to create a bitmap font (PK font) from an MF file for that
font in a general ljfour mode.
It's really not complicated to work in Terminal and on its command
line. Since you're already able to google, you best try to find some
introduction into the use of Terminal and the command line. I remember
there were a few when Mac OS X 10.0 came out. When you've installed TeX
with Gerben Wierda's i-Installer then your system is made ready to use
TeX from the command line. If not -- you know this list's address!

Howdy,
Now that you know how to do it in terminal, here's a way to do it
from within TeXShop.
Go to the ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ folder (~ is your HOME
directory) and duplicate one of the .engine files there. Rename it
htlatex.engine and open it up (double clicking will open it up in
TeXShop). Remove the contents of the file and put the following lines
into that file:
#!/bin/bash
htlatex "$1"
and save the file (again in ~/Library/TeXShop/engines and with the
name htlatex.engine).
At the beginning of any .tex file you want to be processed with
htlatex put the line
%!TEX TS-program =3D htlatex
and then process the file with Cmd-T (Typeset). As an alternative you
can simply choose the htlatex engine in the dropdown menu in the
toolbar.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz

This was really usefull. Thank you.
The html-document resembles my initial tex-document quite closely =20
when viewed in safari.
But how do I go from .html to .doc?
Word eats my footnotes and many (all?) the non standard english =20
characters such as =E6, =F8, =E5, =FC, =F0 and =FE.
Pages does a better job preserving the Scandinavian characters but my =20=
footnotes are gone.

Well, they don't bite ;) It strongly depends on the type of graphics
you need: I need mostly graphs, with axis labels, and the capability
of using TeX to produce those labels is indispensable for me, and for
me the main reason to use metapost. Since it is a companion program
to TeX, the program has some features that you're already familiar
with. (though the two languages are radically different).

Pro: any labels that appear within your figure will match the main
body text.
Con: not wysiwyg (may be a pro, though for figures I'm not so sure
there are many who will argue in favour).

Although I still have all figures in separate files. It is a matter
of organisation in the file-system (and don't let anyone tell you you
don't need that with SpotLight).

If you're happy with exporting Intaglio to pdf, by all means go for it.

It is not a question of packages not being loaded; otherwise, the
command \pstree wouldn't be recognized. Instead, PSTricks is not parsing
the argument. It should separate `nodesep' as the graphics parameter,
rather than `nodesep=3D2pt'. Are you using some strange encoding such that =
your =3D sign is not an ascii =3D sign?

The problem is that you're using node parameters for tree commands. If
you have the LaTeX Graphics Companion, you want the parameters on page
164 for use with trees.
