> I have a large TEXTURES file which when typeset produces all

> All of these output pdf.pages were furnished to and used by Princeton 
> University Press
> as camera-ready for the publication of the book (5 years ago). These 
> original Textures (LaTeX)

> to 9.2.2. And all the figures

> or eps or somesuch.

> have become rather nimble in doing all the NEW stuff with figures, 
> pictures, tables, etal.  Moreover,

> and then to get them all properly converted (say, using 
> GraphicConverter batch) is the primary issue;
