Thanks, I found that myself. However, when using ps2pdf from Miktex 2.7, I get the following error: Unrecoverable error: typecheck in .putdeviceprops I will try to manually invoke gs or, eventually, just use Distiller.
which I still have on my work login. However, I almost never use PS these days since it is easier just to create the plot files with the pdf() device.
Ah, now I remember why I don't use pdflatex: when you re-create the document, the viewer gets _very_ confused, so I have to close and reopen the file and go to the page I was viewing. When I recreate postscript and turn on "Watch file" in ghostview, I get automatic and quick previews of my work.
Well most people deal with that problem by not using Acrobat to read .pdf files. On linux you can use evince or xpdf. On windows just use gsview32. Those readers don't lock the .pdf. I am with Peter and generally go straight to pdf these days. The only reason for going through postscript is if you want to use psfrag.
