Overview: bmeps is a program and library to convert from PNG, JPEG, NetPBM and TIFF to EPS. The library can be used by a modified dvips to convert images "on the fly". Depending on the PS level choosed for output one can use run-length compression, flate compression and ASCII85- encoding instead of ASCII-Hex to create smaller output files. Alpha channels in images can be used for mixing and/or to create an image mask. Changes in this update: The dvips-mods subdirectory now contains suggestions for modifications to divps(k) version 5.86 and 5.90a.
