[comp.text.tex] Transfig and eepic

Hi,

I've been using Transfig that comes with the TeX3.0 distribution
for a while and I really like it.

I've mostly used it (and fig2dev) to generate 'eepic', like :

transfig -L eepic *.fig

This has been on a sun3 system, but I wanted to use it on
another system too (sun4), so I compiled it without problems.

The problem come when I run it...

When I type the line above, transfig generates a Makefile and
transfig.tex, and this latest file is the problem. On the system
that works it looks like this :

\typeout{TransFig: figures in eepic.}
\documentstyle{epic}\documentstyle{eepic}

But on the new system it looks like :

\typeout{TransFig: figures in eepic.}
\input{epic.sty}\input{eepic.sty}

, and this makes LaTeX really confused and it starts complaining about
missing 'begin{document}' as soon as it starts reading epic.sty .

If I manually change this transfig.tex, then everything works just fine.

Any hints ?

Thanks,
 Urban
