[Tugindia] MikTeX/graphics

[S. venkataraman]

I do not know about this in Miktex.  But, if you do not mind
doing some tweaking, you can use vtex, linux version
which is free to download and can be used for non-commercial
purposes. It allows you to include both .eps and .jpg files.  It
produces only PDF out put.
S, Venkataraman.
