Hi,

I Use eps so I can also stick the images in, e.g., a word doc with a preview. The reason I
use eps in latex is because the first time I tried it (I use the graphicx package) the eps
was positioned correctly, but the ps file was not. I did not investigate any further - I
just went with what worked.

cheers,
