you'll have to convert to eps for plain TeX. Using convert to do so will work but produce too large files for jpgs. [e]ps level 2 is actually capable of imbedding the actual jpg data inside. There is a small commandline proram jpeg2ps which will do that nicely, the resulting eps being barely larger (7-bit save encoding) as the jpg file. http://www.pdflib.com/jpeg2ps/ jpeg2ps -h -r300 file.jpg > file.eps always worked nicely for me. Be aware that jpg is not the best format for high contrast line drawings but more suitable for photographs.
