      Converts EPS files to encapsulated PDF files. There are two
      versions available. The original is a perl script
      `epstopdf_perl' by Sebastian Rahtz. If running this script with
      newer versions of GhostScript (6.51) then it needs to be patched
      to tell GhostScript not to automatically rotate pages where most
      of the text is at an angle by adding -dAutoRotatePages=/None. A
      rewrite in C is also available and does not require
      perl. However, it does require ghostscript. A compiled version
      for Windows95/98/NT is included in the package.  Since the
      sources are included, it can be ported to any system having a
      C-complier.
