epsf
gives up after a bitSome copies of the documentation of epsf.tex seem to suggest that the command
\input epsfis needed for every figure included. If you follow this suggestion too literally, you get an error
! No room for a new \read .after a while; this is because each time epsf.tex is loaded, it allocates itself a new file-reading handle to check the figure for its bounding box, and there just aren't enough of these things (see no room for a new thing).
The solution is simple - this is in fact an example of misuse of macros; one only need read epsf.tex once, so change
... \input epsf \epsffile{...} ... \input epsf \epsffile{...}(and so on) with a single
\input epsfsomewhere near the start of your document, and then decorate your
\
epsffile
statements with no more than adjustments of
\
epsfxsize
and so on.
