[Mac OS X TeX] labelling graphics using TeXShop/Illustrator

[Hemant Bhargava]

<x-flowed>Gary -

My current TeX system relies SOOO much on your LaTeX/Mac pages at PSU. So 
it  makes me more than happy to return some help. Let me know if I can help 
with any of the details.

I use Alpha-OzTeX, create .eps files anywhere, use psfrag to substitute 
complex LaTeX labels, then run OzTeX's dvips, then distill the file to get 
my .pdf. As someone else mentioned psfrag has features for label alignment, 
rotation etc.

The only thing I haven't quite figured out here is where to place the 
psfrag.pro file. In general, I'm able to place all package files in 
separate areas from the base OzTeX installation, but in this case nothing 
has worked, and I'm forced to put the psfrag.pro as follows:

OzTeX/TeX/dvips/inputs/psfrag.pro

Anyone have advice on this issue?
