It's not really needed. I think the reason I organized maximabook that
way was because there was a question of whether some parts should be
part of another book, and with discrete pieces and a control file all
someone had to do was tweak the control file and they could get a book
with just the parts they wanted in it.

Opps :-). Sorry - it was just that I was unfamiliar with that style of
figure insertion. I thought someone had tweaked it for publishing
purposes or some such :-).
There is an includegraphics flag to force an image to be in a certain
place relative to some text, IIRC. If you need that I can try and dig
it up.

Well, most of what I did was basically hack and slash. You might want
to check if that file works with the ps files - in theory it should,
but I didn't put it through the full run.

It shouldn't be too hard, given the presence of gs on the system
building it. I don't know what to do about the ones that give errors
though.

They might prove better than the autoconverted ones though.
