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