Working with eps images

.tex with .eps images

latex file.tex
dvipdf file.tex

or convert all eps images to pdf

for i in `ls *.eps`; do echo $i; epspdf $i; done

then

pdflatex file.tex

If you include graphics without the extension both latex and pdflatex will work when you keep both .eps and .pdf files in your image directory.
