Wonderful! Thank you. (The script simply invokes it).

I attach sample output of screenshots of acroread viewing pdf files
generated using pdflatex. The fig2pdftex.sh script was used to generate the
image data, so:
modern_xfig.png
fig2dev -Lpdftex ${input} ${pdftex}
fig2dev -Lpdftex_t -p${outbase} ${input} ${pdftex_t}
legacy_xfig.png
fig2dev -Lpstex ${input} ${pstex}
fig2dev -Lpstex_t -p${outbase} ${input} ${pdftex_t}
epstopdf --outfile=${pdf} ${pstex}
Clearly, both "work", but -Lpdftex output must be rotated, either as an
option to fig2dev (unknown to me) or by adding some stuff to the
\includegraphics command.
