Hi.. I need to submit a paper for a conference that accepts Latex files.
But they require a single .tex file, i.e. the figures, bibliography
etc. all have to be incorporated into that .tex file using the
filecontents* environment. I'm having a few problems with this:

1. From the instructions given, I'm supposed to put
\begin{filecontents*}{myfigure.eps}
\end{filecontents*}

 for all my figures (assuming that the real eps file is in my current
directory). These commands need to go before the \documentclass. How do
I enter ERT in LyX so that it goes before the \documentclass in the .tex
file? I'd rather do this than edit the .tex file manually cos then I
just need to have the LyX file up to date when I make changes..

2. I have several .jpg figures and one .pdf figure in my paper. Does
filecontents* work with jpg/pdf files too? If not, is there any similar
environment for jpg/pdf files? If not, would it be possible to get LyX
to output (to the current directory) the converted ps/eps files that are
generated when I ask for a Postscript output? I can't seem to find these
files when I do a View -> Postscript. If this is possible then I
would'nt have to do the conversion manually...

3. I need to use the filecontents* environment to include the .bbl file.
I do not see a .bbl file in my directory though I see all my references
in the final pdf doc generated using pdflatex. I had a .bbl file for the
earlier version of this paper but it isn't being generated again after
I deleted that .bbl file (cos the filename changed).

Any help on these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
nirmal
