[comp.text.tex] File checking psfig macros

kgk@cs.brown.edu (Keiji Kanazawa) (06/25/91)

The psfig package originally due to Trevor Darrell is very handy for
inclusion of Postscript(TM) figures in TeX documents.  One thing,
however, is that I find myself repeatedly forward referencing (in
time, not in document!) Postscript drawings that I have not yet
drawn.

So my question is, does anybody have a version of the psfig macros
that first checks if the ``figure=foo.ps'' foo.ps files exists, and
if it doesn't, it fails soft, instead of giving up, as the original
version does?

Thanks.
