Florian et al I want to be able to use .eps files. But when I run "latex" (which is a symlink for pdflatex) it kaputs since it wants a .pdf/.png file. Thus my question is "is there a way I can have the 'old' "latex" (which called eTeX (I believe)) which did handle .eps files"? I know I can convert .eps to .pdf but I have 2 systems that I wish to exchange (the *same*) files between but yet still run though latex. One system (my main one at work) is Sarge and that seems to have latex->eTeX whereas the (home) system is unstable and seems to have latex->pdflatex. I just wondered how to reconfigure so that "latex" pointed to the same place (ie did the same thing!) on both machines (and on the home system etex->pdflatex too!). My ideal (call me old!) would be for both to run eTeX with .eps graphics files Thanks, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
