Thank you for your efforts, but I am not in your league. Does this
mean I should look up the syntax of dvips & figure out something to
substitute for those mysterious-looking arguments? At the moment,
Google seems to be down.
In the meantime, I have noticed in _A Guide to Latex_ that "the color
package...recognizes the options: ...dvipsnames...usenames...". So I
tried
\usepackage[dvips]{graphics,lscape,color,dvipsnames}
but Latex merely complained that it couldn't find dvipsnames.sty.
There is no such file anywhere on my system. Same with usenames.
