+>
+> Hi
+>
+> I want to include graphics files like JPEG, TIF and GIF files
+> in a LaTeX document, without converting the damn things to
+> PostScript (when I do this they become simply enormous).
+
+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.
+
+Well, it is not exactly what you asked for - so milage will vary ;-)
+
+> Thanks

+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. Is

+Soon it will be on CTAN as well, in the `tds' directory (list of CTAN

+This version merely makes it explicit that single-file packages of any
