[MacPerl-Toolbox] Edition manager support

[Christian Jaeger <christian.jaeger@eawag.ch>]

Hi

I try once again to post this (the message from Matthias and a followup by me didn't make it into the list on march 30, since there were mail transmitting problems these days).

I wanted to know if somebody has written an interface to the edition manager. As mentioned below, some weeks ago I wanted to read AND generate editions. Now I'd like just to READ the contents of graphics editions (PICT or eps) and write them down to normal pict/eps files which I could embed into LaTeX documents. 

I like publish&subscribe on the mac, so I'm somewhat surprised that there's no edition mgr module around. (But if anyone knows an existing solution to de-editionize graphics, or to embed editions  into LaTeX, I would be happy too.)

If nobody takes the task, perhaps I will try it myself in a month or so.
