+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label epsf</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3><code>epsf</code> gives up after a bit</h3>
+<p/>Some copies of the documentation of <i>epsf.tex</i> seem to suggest
+that the command
+<pre>
+ \input epsf
+</pre>
+is needed for every figure included. If you follow this suggestion
+too literally, you get an error
+<pre>
+ ! No room for a new \read .
+</pre>
+after a while; this is because each time <i>epsf.tex</i> is loaded, it
+allocates itself a <em>new</em> file-reading handle to check the figure
+for its bounding box, and there just aren&rsquo;t enough of these things
+(see <a href="FAQ-noroom.html">no room for a new thing</a>).
+<p/>The solution is simple &mdash; this is in fact an example of misuse of
+macros; one only need read <i>epsf.tex</i> once, so change
+<pre>
+ ...
+ \input epsf
+ \epsffile{...}
+ ...
+ \input epsf
+ \epsffile{...}
+</pre>
+(and so on) with a single
+<pre>
+ \input epsf
+</pre>
+somewhere near the start of your document, and then decorate your
+<code>\</code><code>epsffile</code> statements with no more than adjustments of
+<code>\</code><code>epsfxsize</code> and so on.
