Rokicki's EPSF macros work perfectly in Textures on the Macintosh for
artwork created by means of Illustrator and MacDraw Pro. I use a LaTeX
document style that features a large margin on the lefthand side of
the page (a little like the look of Sun documentation). So, I copied
the main part of Rokicki's EPSF macros (the part that determines the
size of the future illustration) to make an \Image macro that acts
in the following manner:

    1.  An illustration whose width is less than the width of the main
        body of my text is automatically centered.

    2.  An illustration whose width is greater than the width of the
        main body of my text is automatically flushed right. In other
        words, the lefthand side of the ilustration flows out into
        the margin.

I save my Illustrator documents with the PICT option (in the dialog
box) set to "Macintosh black and white". As for my MacDraw Pro stuff,
I've got into the habit of always saving it as EPSF. Consequently,
when I'm working with Textures, I actually see all this artwork on
the screen in my typeset window. So, all this is marvelous!

BUT... there's a hitch. When I boot up A/UX and drag all this stuff
across into the Unix file system, and try to run it with our network
LaTeX system (using exactly the same style macros as in Textures),
the Rokicki EPSF macros don't seem to be able to handle the MacDraw
Pro EPSF files and the Illustrator files saved with the PICT option
set to "Macintosh black and white". The LaTeX document appears to get
typeset, but the results are garbage wherever an illustration is
meant to appear. And the resulting .dvi file hangs up the laser
printer.

If I save my Illustrator documents with the PICT option set to "none
(with EPSF header)", everything works perfectly with the Rokicki EPSF
macros on the Unix Latex system. On the other hand, I don't seem to
be able to do anything at all with the MacDraw Pro artwork.

Can anybody tell me whether the Rokicki EPSF macros can be modified
so that they'll work in a Unix LaTeX environment with both MacDraw
Pro EPSF files and Illustrator files with the PICT option set to
"Macintosh black and white"?
