Thanks, this is working perfectly for me.

I don't have any need to scale the image, so I'm using PSPIC lines in one
of these forms:

.PSPIC foo.eps
.PSPIC -L foo.eps
.PSPIC -R foo.eps
.PSPIC -I .5i foo.eps

All the images are jpegs, so I've got this simple shell script in
my pipeline to generate the eps files:

cat $* |
awk '/^\.PSPIC/ {sub(/\.eps/,"",$NF); print "convert "$NF".jpg "$NF".eps"}' |
sort -u |
sh -x

I'll check out the PDF solutions as well, but this is working
fine in my current workflow.

Thanks all!
Mark
