i always use a program called dvipdfm to create pdf files directly from the
dvi file. it usually gives you much smaller pdf files than ps2pdf. i tried
the method below on a 50k dvi file, and i find that dvipdfm gives a pdf file
that is some 30k smaller than dvips/ps2pdf. plus, for some reason, the file
created by ps2pdf just doesn't look good on my screen, the one created by
dvipdfm does.
dvipdfm handles stuff from eepic well (i use it myself) and, according to the
doc, also handles images.
