Greetings to the TeX world! Probably this has been discussed a few thousand times. But I would like to bring up the subject again. In the moment I try to figure out if it is of help for me to switch to TeX. There is one question open that I can't answer yet, so maybe somebody could try to write a summary. The question is what kind of graphics can be included in a TeX document. What tools are available to convert vector graphics like HPGL or to read postscript graphics ? Is there a chance to include the popular raster graphics formats in a TeX document ? What is the general method to include some graphics in a document that has been created by a given commercial graphics program ? (I am wrking in DOS and OS/2 environments). Thanks in advance! Ulf
