Purpose of jpeg2ps
==================
jpeg2ps converts JPEG files to PostScript level 2 EPS. In fact, jpeg2ps
is not really a converter but a "wrapper": it reads the image parameters
(width, height, number of color components) in a JPEG file, writes the
according EPS header and then copies the compressed JPEG data to the output
file. Decompression is done by the PostScript interpreter (only PostScript
level 2 interpreters support JPEG compression and decompression). If you
have a slow communication channel and a fast printer, sending compressed
image data is a big win.
