REQUIREMENTS o Perl o GNU gunzip. o UNIX (maybe). INSTALLATION. o Edit the Makefile installation paths. o Edit the config variables at the beginning of the perl scripts "epsfig" and "epsbb". o Type 'make install' (or 'make -n install' to see what its gonna do). MANIFEST o README -- you're reading it. o Makefile -- just does installation. o epsbb -- will construct *.bb files, and compress ps files either individually or for a whole directory. o epsfig -- Used by dvips. Will try to find file on TEXINPUTS path print that file to stdout. Will gnuzip where necessary. o epsfig.sty -- slightly modified version incorporating epsfig. By default epsbb will be applied to the \epsfig files when dvips is run. This can be turned off with the control sequence \psnocompress and on again with \pscompress. DOCUMENTATION Minimal. See above, read the beginning comments in the perl scripts, and the comments in epsfig.sty. PROBLEMS I really hacked this up quickly because I some problems with the way decompression was implemented in the original epsfig.sty. It seems to work on our setup but no guarantees. Suggestions, comments regarding the decompressions stuff mail me: peta@mcrcim.mcgill.edu (Peter Whaite). I wouldn't have a clue about any of the other epsfig.sty things. Best mail the author: rahtz@dxcern.cern.ch (Sebastian Rahtz).
