I think from Alain's initial post that he wants to be able to  
transfer files that include embedded code. Instead he has the .tex  
file plus various graphic file formats from the graphic development  
and file transfer phases. I think he feels that these can provide  
opportunities for errors, omissions and generally make file  
management difficult.

I have suggested jPicEdt1.4, which provides a graphic interface and  
can output LaTeX code, pic and eepic. It also outputs for pstricks.  
Using this Alain can remove at least portions of his image file  
requirements.

However, the underlying issue is not resolved and this is possibly  
because he has not accepted that TeX is a text based system, unlike  
other systems that incorporate binary data in them, such as most DTP  
and word processors.

Just some thoughts.
