+.SH NAME
+fig2epsf \- convert Fig picture files into Encapsulate PostScript format
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.na
+.B fig2epsf
+[
+.I fig2dev options
+]
+.I figfile
+.B >
+.I epsffile
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.na
+This is a shellscript that uses the
+.IR fig2dev (1)
+program to convert files in Fig's format
+(see
+.IR fig (1)
+or
+.IR xfig (1))
+into Encapsulated PostScript Format compliant with version 3.0 of the
+.SM EPSF
+guidelines. The
+.SM EPSF
+file is printed on the standard output stream.
+.PP
+This shellscript cleans up some of the redundant PostScript code that
+.I fig2dev
+2.1.4.1 produces, so that the resulting files may be printed on a
+tiny-brained LaserWriter, and corrects the header comments so that it
+may be previewed with
+.IR ghostview (1).

+.SH BUGS
+It is possible that later versions of TransFig will produce less buggy
+PostScript files, and that these will break this shellscript.
