Thanks to those people who provided suggestions on how to
convert images from .jpg or .bmp etc to .eps.

(I want some .eps images because that is the only format
LaTeX seems to use.)

1 - FreeImage has a BlackBox interface, but does not support .eps.

2 - IrfanView seems an interesting package, but 'natively'
only supports a few types. IUt as a large selection of
'Plug-ins' that support many more. The interesting plug-in
is called POSTSCRIPT, and requires GhostScript. It claims to
support .ps, .pdf, & .eps formats. In fact I can get it to
read all three, but only to write .pdf, not .ps or .eps -
THE ONE I WANTED!

3 - GhostScript (called from the GUI GhostView) claims to
convert .pdf to .eps, but crashes when I try it.
(This was a surprise. I regularly use GhostScript to convert
BlackBox documents to .pdf without any trouble.)

4 - Gimp just works. I think I will stick with that.

Regards

Robert
