I have installed GNUplot and emTeX on my PC and am trying to integrate
them, but have been having problems with TeX's "memory capacity
exceeded" (as expected).  I have found some comments floating about
that say eepic macros work, and you suggest epsf, which I assume
is some encapsulated postscript converter.  My question is, where
can I obtain a macro which will allow me to import complex plots
from GNUplot into emTeX without maxing out TeX?

Please email......Gracias, Grazie, Danke, Merci, Xie Xie, Thanks, ...
