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.
.

Well, it is not exactly what you asked for - so milage will vary ;-)

Subject: Bug in LaTeX/Tex?
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
this a TeX or LaTeX problem??????

Subject: announce: TeX directory structure (tds) 0.9996 available
Another draft of the TeX Directory Structure (TDS) standards document
is (finally) available from:
http://www.tug.org/tds/
ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/tds.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/tds/
Soon it will be on CTAN as well, in the `tds' directory (list of CTAN
hosts appended).
This version merely makes it explicit that single-file packages of any
type can go in `misc' or a package directory, at the installer or
author's discretion. Also fixes some grammatical errors.
Please send comments to tds@tug.org. I will release this text as
version 1.0 if nothing adverse happens soon :).
