+.TH ps2frag 1 "Feb 95" TeXware
+.SH NAME
+ps2frag - obsolete shell script for the PSfrag system.
+.SH IMPORTANT NOTICE
+The new PSfrag system no longer requires the ps2frag script; instead, it
+handles the processing entirely within TeX/LaTeX and DVIPS. I'm sure you
+will agree that never needing to run ps2frag again is a nice convenience!
+.P
+However, there are two significant differences in the way this new version
+of PSfrag works. Please make yourself aware of them:
+.P
+1) XDvi is no longer able to determine where your PSfrag replacements
+should
+go, so instead it lines them up in a vertical list to the left of the
+figure. This allows you to confirm that they have been typeset properly, at
+least. However, to confirm that PSfrag
+.B positions
+your replacements properly, you will have to view the PostScript
+version of your file with a viewer like GhostView, or print it out.
+This seems to be the
+only disadvantage to the elimination of the pre-processing step.
+.P
+2) If you embed '\\tex' commands inside your figures, you now need to
+explicitly _tell_ PSfrag to process these commands. To do so, use
+\\usepackage[scanall]{psfrag}
+instead of
+\\usepackage{psfrag}
+at the beginning of your LaTeX file.
+.P
+If you only use '\\tex' commands in a small number of figures, then a
+more efficient might be to turn on '\\tex'-scanning only for those
+figures. To do that, add the command '\\psfragscanon' immediately before
+each relevant \\includegraphics or \\epsfbox command.
+.P
+.SH NOTES
+See the PSfrag documentation for further information.
