For a change of pace, I offer information of potential use to others rather than asking for help. :-)
I'm writing the User Manual for my fuzzy system modeling software and need to illustrate the application's GUI screens in the text. Well, The GIMP is great for generating a high-quality .jpg, but this format doesn't play nice with LyX or LaTeX. Yesterday I rummaged around the corners of the Web and disovered a great tool called "jpeg2ps". I changed the default paper size from A4 to letter in the Makefile and it built just fine. I put the executable in /usr/local/bin and it works really well. This tool translates the header from .jpg to either .ps or .eps; I used the latter. It keeps the compressed image data the same, just wraps the header so it looks and feels like an encapsulated PostScript file. LyX happily accepted it and it displays well. So, in case I'm not the last to learn of this tool, I hope that it proves useful to others out there who need to put screen dumps into a LyX/LaTeX document. Rich -- Dr. Richard B.
