+A brand-spankin' new version of PSfrag, version 3.04, for LaTeX2e can be
+found at CTAN sites in the directory
+
+macros/latex/contrib/supported/psfrag.
+
+PSfrag 3.04 fixes some bugs discovered in PSfrag 3.03.
+
+What is PSfrag?
+---------------
+
+Many drawing and graphing packages produce output in the Encapsulated
+PostScript (EPS) format, but few can easily produce the equations and
+other scientific text of which LaTeX is capable. On the other hand, many
+LaTeX-based drawing packages are not as expressive or easy-to-use as the
+many advanced drawing packages that produce EPS output.
+
+PSfrag provides the best of both worlds by allowing the user to
+precisely overlay Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files with arbitrary
+LaTeX constructions. In order to accomplish this, the user places a
+simple text ``tag'' in the graphics file, as a ``position marker'' of
+sorts. Then, using simple LaTeX commands, the user instructs PSfrag to
+remove that tag from the figure, and replace it with a properly sized,
+aligned, and rotated LaTeX equation.
+
+The full documentation for PSfrag found in the release contains examples
+and usage instructions.
+
+To use PSfrag...
+----------------
+
+...you will need:
+
+* LaTeX2e and the "graphics" package. (You can use the old epsf.sty
+ macros with PSfrag, but you still need the graphics package.) Please
+ make sure to get the newest versions of these packages from CTAN
+ before submitting bug reports.
+
+* If you plan to use PSfrag with the Seminar package, make sure you
+ get the 10/97 release of this package.
+
+* Any DVI-to-PostScript program that is well-supported by the "graphics"
+ package. This author uses Tom Rokicki's "dvips"; I recommend it.
+ PSfrag has also been verified for DVIPSone from Y&Y (using Level 2
+ PostScript printers).
+
+Bugs? What Bugs?
+----------------
+
+PSfrag 3.04 is bug-free. Of course, we're kidding. That's what we said
+about PSfrag 3.0, in fact, and look where it got us.
+
+If you have problems, bug reports, or improvement suggestions, please
+send them to the PSfrag maintainer's mailing list,
+
+psfrag@rascals.stanford.edu
+
+Please supply an example .tex file and .eps figure to demonstrate the
+behavior you wish to have corrected or improved.
+
+This is a majordomo mailing list; feel free to join if you would like to
+actively participate in PSfrag development.
+
+Thanks for using PSfrag!
