Interesting. I gave it a try under Windows XP with MiKTeX 2.6 and had
some problems, though. It extracts the graphics and creates .pdf files
without trouble, but after it does this the .eps files are no longer
present as they are in your directory listing. Then when pdfLaTeX tries
to compile the final document it gives me the following error:
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \test
-tmp-0
l.13 \includegraphics{./.\test-tmp-0}
I don't have time at the moment to take a closer look, but I might give
it a try later in the day.
Incidentally, Herbert, what do you see as the advantage of this over
pst-pdf? I have only recently begun experimenting with pst-pdf and the
most obvious advantage to me is that PSTricks commands don't have to be
surrounded with \begin{postscript}..\end{postscript}. It also creates
individual graphics files rather than a single multi-page document, but
that's a rather minor point (for me, anyway). Are there other things
that I'm missing?
