When I started working with TeX, building and installing it was kind of like
a treasure hunt... you needed to go go around to various places to get
the pieces. Thomas Esser's teTeX package has made it much easier
to build and install a TeX system on Unix.

As for IDL I have no problems including plots with or without !p.multi,
encapsulated or not. Technically you should be using 'encapsulated' --
but I don't always like the bounding box that I get on plots. So, I often
leave the /ENCAPSULATED off and then use a script 'psfixbb' to adjust
the bounding box to the dimension that I like. (Author: Carsten Dominik ;
