Re: Error with @IncludeGraphic and eps file

[Albert Kinderman]

Not quite solved.  After stripping the extra carriage returns from
the eps file, I still get the
 
internal error: assert failed in FixAndPrintObject: link or
uplink!

I now think this is an error unrelated to the eps file.  Do I have
to make more changes in my old mydoc file beyond the change in the
location of the fontdefs?
