The ease of including graphics in T E X documents using 4 T E X

In this paper we will show how 4 T E X can be used to incorporate graphics in T E X documents. Using 4 T E X it not only becomes easy to include graphics in T E X files, but also makes it possible to preview and print T E X documents (including graphics) on any machine and any printer. For inserting graphics in T E X documents, 4 T E X uses the style file figures.sty, the shareware programs TEXCAD and GRAPHIC WORKSHOP, and the freeware programs: HP2XX, BM2FONT, PCLTOMSP, and GHOSTSCRIPT.
