I don't have the context of the message so I can't really understand the
problem you reply to. But let me try to explain the situation and what I
think is the problem I presented and that you reply to here.
The problem I raised that I think you reply to is my request to be able to
differentiate what output file will be generated.
I know of the fact that latex and pdflatex will use the right format when
presented to them if the extension is not emitted into the latex source.
However I'm in a need to take a file format and convert it to the correct
format, say the user asks to add a TIFF file, to what format should I
convert it? PNG? EPS?
This is a bit subtle since if the PDF result is by using pdflatex I need
PNG, however if it's going through latex->dvips->ps2pdf than I need to
convert to EPS.
Let me know if I answered to the wrong question, and let me
suggest that it is advisable to reply to messages with the replied message
inside for context.
