Summary : Make EPS work with both LaTeX/dvips and pdfLaTeX
URL : http://tug.org/texlive/
License : LPPL
Description : While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary
: shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is
: unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files,
: the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world. Purifyeps
: converts EPS files into a 'purified' form that can be read by
: both LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX. The trick is that the standard
: LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse MetaPost-produced EPS
: directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS
: file into the same stylized format that MetaPost outputs.
