Hi Niels,

    TeXUtil sais somethinh about having processed one EPS file.
This
    is correct. 

This option prepares the eps bbox for pdf conversion. 

c:\tmp >texexec --pdf --final test.tex
...
figuren        : figuur diagram is niet te vinden
...

That's because you need to convert it to pdf first. If the TU
has a licence for Distiller (I know they do have one at TO), you
can use distiller to convert the prepared eps to pdf. 

    So, pdftex sais it cannot find figure diagram, but it's
right
    there in the same directory, and I used texutil to index all
EPS
    files. 

There is no way to let pdftex handle eps directly, since no eps
parser is build in. So, in pdftex mode, context searches for
pdf, mps, jpg and png inclusions only. 

\gebruikexternfiguur
	[]
	[diagram]
	[type=eps]

There is no real need to specify the type (only in case of
scaling buffers). Also, the first arg should not be empty: 

\gebruikexternfiguur[id][filename] % \useexternalfigure

\externfiguur[id]                  % \externalfigure

will do. 

\plaatsfiguur
	{Bijschrift}
	{\naam{diagram}}

The more recent versions accept \externfiguur[diagram] and
either use the predefined one or start searching for a file with
the same name. This method is more robust (no name clashes) than
\naam. 

Hans
