could anyone please help me out.

Hi

I had the same problem as you. Try to copy latex.fmt from source directory to directory where apache is currently working. You will see :-)

Is it possible to get the code fragments which appeared in the article?
I really would like to test it but I don't like to type in all the code.

Better Bounding Box

Instead of playing around with invisible elements in latex to compensate for dvips's unfriendly treatment of graphics when using the -E flag, you can let convert trim the graphic for you. Simply remove the E option from the dvips command line, then use:

convert -trim -density 120 -bordercolor white -border 5x5 my.ps my.png

The bordercolor and border arguments can be omitted if you'd rather not have any padding built into the graphic.
