Hi there,

This is probably very trivial but I need to do something like this:

  \presetexternalfigure[foo][somefig][height=100pt]
  \framed[width={\figurewidth[foo]}]{Some contents}

Are there any macro's like this? I need to have the height too.
I need it because I have a lot of figures with the same height, but with
different widths.

O yeah, and another problem: I use ActivateState perl, and some DJGPP perl
(you know, a port that runs under DOS/WIN/OS/2 *and* win95 and it has long
filename support)
and there are some differences:

- The DJGPP port is much faster (and I mean a lot faster here)

- The DJGPP port does globbbing correct, e.g.:
    texutil --figures --epspage *.eps
  works fine, while the ActiveState port doesn't (texutil says it doesn't
know any figures *.eps).

Perhaps I did something completely wrong (Ok, Wybo, I'll switch to Linux
some day). I have to stick to the ActiveState port because I use perl/Tk and
ODBC database connectivity, which doesn't run under the DJGPP port.

Gilbert.
