NAME
       makempy	-  Helper script for conversion of (PDF or PostScript) text to
       Metapost graphics

SYNOPSIS
       makempy filenam

DESCRIPTION
       makempy takes Metapost output files  (*.mpo)  and  translates  them  to
       *.mpy  files. In order to include text as a graphic into a file typeset
       with (Con)TeX(t), you extract the text from  Postscript	of  PDF	 files
       using pdftops and pstoedit, creating a Metapost input file.

       This file can then be processed by makempy. The makempy script does its
       work without user intervention. When  it	 deduces  that	there  are  no
       changes,	 it  will  not	run at all, otherwise it will report its steps
       and/or encountered error.

OPTIONS
       --help returns some basic help information

       --silent
	      don t report status messages

       --force
	      always process the file (no checksum test)

       --noclean
	      don t remove temporary files when finished

       --acrobat
	      use ACROBAT for conversion (only unix)

       --pdftops
	      use PDFTOPS for conversion

       --ghostscript
	      use GHOSTSCRIPT for conversion

VARIABLES
       When set, the environment variables GS and  GS_PROG  will  be  used  to
       identify	 GHOSTSCRIPT.  If needed, the names of the other programs that
       are used can be set with PDFTOPS, ACROREAD and PSTOEDIT.
