+.SH NAME
+makempy \- Helper script for conversion of (PDF or PostScript) text to
+\fBMetapost\fP graphics
+.PP
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+\fBmakempy\fP \fIfilenam\fP
+.PP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBmakempy\fP takes \fBMetapost\fP output files (*\&.mpo) and
+translates them to *\&.mpy files. In order to include text as a
+graphic into a file typeset with (Con)TeX(t), you extract the text
+from Postscript of PDF files using \fBpdftops\fP and \fBpstoedit\fP,
+creating a Metapost input file.
+.PP
+This file can then be processed by \fBmakempy\fP. The \fBmakempy\fP
+script does its work without user intervention. When it deduces that
+there are no changes, it will not run at all, otherwise it will report
+its steps and/or encountered error.
