[MiKTeX] graphics problem in TeX, but not in LaTeX for same eps files

[Sukomal M. <SU...@cs...>]

Hello MikTeX Users,

The graphics file is compiled and processed in LaTeX without any =
problem. But why it becomes a problem when it is included a plain TeX =
document? Am I mission something? Am I mission something? Is there any =
problem in my graphics inclusion in the TeX document? Or is there any =
problen in setup of TeX?

I use MikTeX 2.1 and WinEdt 5.2 along with GSView 4.0 and GhostScript =
7.0.=20

When I compile a simple document (which follows the paragraph) in LaTeX =
with graphicx package and typical includegraphics statements, I get the =
tex-->dvi-->ps-->pdf files without problem. Yap display the document =
with the graphics without any error. (tex-->pdf and dvi-->pdf remain =
problem as the graphics file is not in pdf format. This is understood.)

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[tbh]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=3D3.4cm]{1-2.eps}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If I use the following statements in plain TeX text, compilation is done =
and a dvi file is created without any error message.=20

\topinsert\vglue 13.0cm{\special{ps: epsfile 1-1.eps 1000}}\endinsert
\footnote{}{\vglue 3.4cm{\special{ps: epsfile 1-2.eps 1000}}}
\vglue 4.0cm{\special{ps: epsfile 2-1.eps 1000}}

However, Yap gets into trouble while displaying the resulting dvi file =
in the page where the first eps figure is inserted. It gives a =
"PostScript Problem" error message. After clicking Okay on the message =
window, it keeps on displaying the rest of the document without further =
error message. However, all graphics areas remain blank. Yap responds =
with the window telling "PostScript Problem; Ghostscript error; See the =
Logbook (View/Logbook) for error history". The Logbook says:

The Logbook for dvi produced from LaTeX document also includes message =
like "ptmr8r: checksum mismatch; 32: no glyph!". I believe that is not =
the source of error. I believe the main difference is in the last few =
lines included above. The corresponding message for LaTeX dvi is:=20

The graphics file is compiled and processed in LaTeX without any =
problem. But why it becomes a problem when it is included a plain TeX =
document? Am I mission something? Is there any problem in graphics =
inclusion in the TeX document?

Thanks in advance.
