What were you trying to do?
6.041 has created a postscript figure with the office hours of the TAs.
This figure can be seen by going to http://web.mit.edu/6.041/www/ and
choosing office hours.
The source is a .tex file. The .tex file attempts to make the figure in
landscape mode. I have even tried a simplified version of the .tex file
which is the following:
> \setlength{\topmargin}{0in}
> \setlength{\evensidemargin}{0in}
> \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0in}
> \setlength{\textwidth}{9in}
> \setlength{\textheight}{6.5in}
>
> \documentstyle{article}
> \begin{document}
> foo
> \end{document}
What's wrong:
The above, when manipulated with:
latex foo.tex
dvips -t landscape -o foo.ps foo.dvi
produces a postscript file just fine. However, ghostview displays an
11 x 8.5 (width larger than highth) screen with the word "foo" upside
down.
What should have happened:
The word foo should be along the right hand side of a 8.5 x 11 screen.
When viewed with gs or printed on a postscript printer, this is the
result.
