Howdy,
Thanks for the information. Basically it sounds like the set accepted
by pdftex.
Should I get in touch with the folks that support the epstopdf
package? That package should (using --shell-escape) let the graphicx
package create a pdf of the eps file, if one doesn't already exist,
and then include the pdf file. It seem to fail when using xelatex and
I suspect that the package is doing ``driver sniffing'' and doesn't
support xetex.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
