Here's the solution I came up with, I just wrote the stupid loops. It
ends up clobbering whatever the original color table was, I'm too lazy
to put in the common blocks to fix that. pyps is just my favorite
postscript opening procedure, then multi_ps sets up the correct
postscript files.


pro pyps, _extra=e, font=font, close=close, encapsulated=encapsulated

if not keyword_set(encapsulated) then encapsulated=0
;need to set this because IDL remembers /encap

if keyword_set(close) then begin
device, /close
set_plot, 'X'
!x.thick=0 ;return to normal
!y.thick=0
!p.font=-1 ;return to vector fonts
!p.charsize=0
!p.thick=0
return
endif else begin
if !d.name eq 'PS' then print, 'WARNING! Already set to
Postscript. Did you just forget to close another device?'
set_plot, 'PS'
if keyword_set(font) then !p.font=font else !p.font=0 ;set to
;hardware font

!x.thick=4 ;thick lines are nice
!y.thick=4
!p.charsize=1.25 ;bigger font is nice
!p.thick=2
;if not keyword_set(landscape) then landscape=1 ;landscape by default
device, encapsulated=encapsulated, _extra=e, /times
return
endelse



end

pro multi_ps, pn, filename=filename, _extra=e, hard_bw=hard_bw, $
close=close

;need to incorporate a way to restore
;the original color table that gets
;clobbered when /hard_bw set.

;generate regular rgb
if pn eq 0 then pyps, filename=filename+'_rgb.eps', /encapsulated, $
/color, bits=8, _extra=e

;generate cmyk
if pn eq 1 then pyps, filename=filename+'_cmyk.eps', /encapsulated,
$
/color, bits=8, /cmyk, _extra=e

;generate B&W
if pn eq 2 then begin
if keyword_set(hard_bw) then $
tvlct, [[fltarr(256)],[fltarr(256)],[fltarr(256)]]

pyps, filename=filename+'_bw.eps', /encapsulated
endif




end

;try to make some good code for making three output files


x=findgen(101)
y=15.+x^2-3.*x


;now to make some plots

loadct, 39

for pn=0,2 do begin ;pn=plot number
multi_ps, pn, filename='test', /hard_bw
plot, x,y,/nodata
oplot, x,y, color=250, psym=2
pyps, /close
endfor
