Your question already answered in the previous mails, so I'll wrote something
else :)
In my Makefiles instead of
figure1_fixed.eps: figure1.eps
[tab] eps2eps $< $@
I use
figure1_fixed.eps: figure1.eps
[tab] rm -f $@
[tab] eps2eps $< $@ || { rm -f $@; exit 1; }
First line will allow Makefile to work even if for some reason target file is
read-only.
Additional to second line "|| { rm -f $@ ...}" ensure that in case of some
failure no target file remain. So wrong / incomplete file can't be occassionly
used.

Valery
