@A pstoepsi shell script can be found at
<URL:ftp://bourbon.cs.umd.edu/pub/tgif/pstoepsi/pstoepsi>.  To make it
work, find the 8-lines section labeled "Edit these variables" that looks
like:

    ########################## Edit these variables #####################
    GS='/usr/local/bin/X11/gs'
    PSTOPPM='/usr/local/libdata/X11/gs/pstoppm.ps'
    PBMTOEPSI='./pbmtoepsi'
    RASTTOPNM='/usr/local/pbm/rasttopnm'
    INTERP='gs'
    STRIP='false'
    HIRES='false'
    PSTORAST='./pstorast'
    ######################################################################

You don't need to modify all of them, the important ones are as follows:

1)  GS='/usr/local/bin/X11/gs'

    If ghostscript (gs) is always in your path, you can just replace the
    above line with:

        GS='gs'

    Otherwise, replace it with the right path.

2)  PSTOPPM='/usr/local/libdata/X11/gs/pstoppm.ps'

    Pstoppm.ps is part of ghostscript.  Do "gs -help" and find the
    "Search path" in the output.  For example, the "Search path" may be:

        /usr/local/libdata/X11/gs:/usr/local/libdata/X11/gs/fonts:.

    In this case, find "pstoppm.ps" in either /usr/local/libdata/X11/gs
    or /usr/local/libdata/X11/gs/fonts.  If you find "pstoppm.ps" in
    /usr/local/libdata/X11/gs, change the above line to:

        PSTOPPM='/usr/local/libdata/X11/gs/pstoppm.ps'

    If "gs -help" shows that you are running "Aladdin Ghostscript 5.x",
    you don't need pstoppm.ps.  You can leave the PSTOPPM setting the
    way it is.

3)  PBMTOEPSI='./pbmtoepsi'

    If pbmtoepsi is always in your path, you can just replace the
    above line with:

        PBMTOEPSI='pbmtoepsi'

    Otherwise, replace it with the right path.  Pbmtoepsi is part of
    netpbm.  The netpbm package mentioned in tgif's home page at
    <URL:http://bourbon.cs.umd.edu:8001/tgif/tools.html> contains the
    source code for pbmtoepsi.  Build it, install it (in, for example,
    /somewhere/pbmtpepsi), and change the above line to:

        PBMTOEPSI='/somewhere/pbmtoepsi'

    If you want to use the [ -2x ] feature of this pstoepsi, please
    make sure you use netpbm-20may1999 from the URL mentioned above.
