14 makempy takes MetaPost output files (*.mpo) and translates them to
15 *.mpy files. In order to include text as a graphic into a file typeset
16 with (Con)TeX(t), you extract the text from Postscript of PDF files
17 using pdftops(1) and pstoedit(1), creating a Metapost input file.
18
19 This file can then be processed by makempy. The makempy script does its
20 work without user intervention. When it deduces that there are no
21 changes, it does not do anything; otherwise it reports its steps and
22 any errors.
