I was wondering why there is ps2epsi but no ps2eps amongst the Redhat and Debian GS-tools. Fooling lyx/latex to accept epsi's by calling them *.eps always made me a little uneasy. -- Steven Homolya School of Physics and Materials Engineering Monash University, VIC 3800 Australia Tel: +61 3 9905 3694 Fax: +61 3 9905 3637
