I thought this would come with TeXlive or ConTeXt. It solved the
problem obviously, sorry for not trying it before calling for help.
Also, I removed "beginfig...endfig;" from the tex file.
However, now I can only see "e mc". No "=" nor "2". Is there a special
version of pstoedit to install? I got mine from
http://www.helga-glunz.homepage.t-online.de/pstoedit/.
