Document Classes ⇒ I always failed to compile pst-func-doc.tex, why?

[fractal.generator]

Dear all,

In order to know the commonly used structure to write latex documents, I analyze package documentation input files created by the package author.

First of all, I download pst-func.zip from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphic ... /pst-func/. Extracting the archive, we have pst-func-doc.tex and its compiled version named pst-func-doc.pdf.
pst-func-doc.pdf consists of 51 pages in total.

To avoid overwritting the original pst-func-doc.pdf, I rename pst-func-doc.tex to exercise.tex.

I compile exercise.tex using three steps as follows:

1. To make sure the references are well linked, I execute latex exercise.tex 3 times. (twice might be enough).

2. I convert the dvi to ps by executing dvips exercise.dvi

3. And the last one, I execute ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE#a4 exercise.ps


Unfortunately, I got only 10 pages instead of 51 pages.
By comparing the original with mine, there are many missing pages, etc.

Please let me know the correct procedure to do compilation.

NOTE : I used Windows XP and Miktex distro. All compilation done from DOS prompt.

Thank you in advance.


regards,

Hayashi

why do you downloaded it? It is already part of any distribution ...
