It is the best way to convert any graphics formats to EPS before inclusion: this is exact and most conservative, while permitting a clean handling of ASCII data. Unless there are special needs due to printer drivers which have their own (hardware-specific) way to deal with a restricted collection of image formats, the EPS as canonical format is optimal. A previewer which is clever and useful is able to show a TIFF, JPEG or whatever bitmap file which is stored under the same name like the EPS. Scalable previews (for vector images of course) are only possible in WMF format, which moreover cannot be separated from the EPSF (thus becoming a binary file). > Does anyone know of any packages that allow me to use raw > JPEG/GIF/TIF files within LaTeX documents? Use jpeg2ps from Thomas Merz to include a JPEG unchanged (no decompression & re-compression) into a PS level 2 EPS. Imagemagic can deal with TIFF but this is indeed quite inefficent since it doesn't provide the PS level 2 compressors LZW nor CCITT. EPS files are not per se much bigger than the most compact bitmaps but this depends crucial on the software used. Rather a typical B/W EPS is around half the size of the identical GIF at high res. . > Any help gratefully received.

The following input file produces incorrect labels in the output (incorrect values are written to the .aux file). Note that the label is on the line with \nonumber (which is the actual error). Unfortunately, the .log file doesn't produce any error messages.

This version merely makes it explicit that single-file packages of any type can go in `misc' or a package directory, at the installer or author's discretion. Also fixes some grammatical errors. Please send comments to tds@tug.org. I will release this text as version 1.0 if nothing adverse happens soon :). Karl Berry, for the TDS working group, http://tug.org/twg/tds/ $ finger ctan ..
