Summary description: Convert an ordinary Encapsulated PostScript file 
  into one that works with both LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming
relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format
in the LaTeX world.  purifyeps converts EPS files into a "purified"
form that can be read by *both* LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX.  The trick
is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse
MetaPost-produced EPS directly.  Hence, purifyeps need only convert an
arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost
outputs.

This release updates the documentation according to some corrections
sent to me by Heiko Oberdiek.
