- I have installed GNUplot and emTeX on my PC and am trying to integrate
- them, but have been having problems with TeX's "memory capacity
- exceeded" (as expected). I have found some comments floating about
- that say eepic macros work, and you suggest epsf, which I assume
- is some encapsulated postscript converter. My question is, where
- can I obtain a macro which will allow me to import complex plots
- from GNUplot into emTeX without maxing out TeX?
