The ps2psfrag package was written for UNIX and is difficult to use on MSDOS
because of the following reasons:
- ps2psfrag is written in Csh-shell
- ps2psfrag adds `frag' to the filename (ex.: example.eps) containing
an EPSF picture. On MSDOS this will give dramatic results
(example.epsfrag truncated to example.eps).
To cope with these problems I have written a perl program (ps2frag)
that converts picture.ps (or picture.epsf) into picture.frac. In order to
do this I needed to change epsf.sty (called now epsfrag.sty) and
ps2psfrag.ps (called now ps2frag.ps).
To test the perl program ps2frag I have added an example (in directory
example). Run it before you install the package.
Because epsf.sty is part of dvips I prefer to call Craig's version
of epsf.sty epsfrag.sty. Perhaps Graig can convince Tom Rokicki to
use it in stead of dvips epsf.sty's version!
The original package is available in ./ps2psfrag. The files
INSTALL.{dos|unx} explain how to install my perl version on MSDOS
(emTeX) and UNIX.
Ps2frag clearly shows the power of perl. Because I did not like to
rewrite the default getopts.pl from perl I changed options `-dx'
and `-dy' into the more convenient `-x' and `-y'. (Mea culpa!)
