Yeah. The easiest way is to use LaTeX on the Macintosh. Trying to
put the cmd-F equivalent in is abysmally difficult. I've heard of

You do not need the Appledict.h, I believe. EPS is supposed to be a
directly-portable format, so no special dictionaries are (generally)
needed. Again, this has not been directly confirmed by me.
