Encoding PostScript graphics in Plain TeX

1. Place this line near the front of your .tex file:

         \input epsf

2. At each location where you want a PostScript image, include a line like this:

         \epsfbox{fig.eps}

   but replace fig.eps with the name of your file. This will insert the figure as if it were a \vbox, using its ``natural size.''
3. Use the tex command to compile your file and produce a .dvi file.
4. Warning: You can't print your .dvi file in the usual way. You must convert the .dvi file to PostScript with this command:

         dvips -N0 -Z0 -K0 whatever.dvi -o whatever.ps

If you aren't happy with the way your figure is positioned relative to the text, see the next topic.
