what happened with eps2pdf?

After a long time without using it, I need now to convert eps graphics
to pdf. In the past I used the eps2pdf tool that I installed with the
old MUI interface. But now it seems that the old MUI does not work
anymore (maybe because it was replaced inside winedt.exe?) and each
time I try to run the epstopdf.edt macro, nothing happens. Any clue?

Thanks  a lot in advance!

Best regards,

The old MUI still works (just as before) as long as you install
mui.exe.

Just in case I have tested eps2pdf.edt from winedt.org with
external MUI.exe and it converted my sample eps to pdf. It
works the same as it did in older versions of WinEdt (it does
not provide any feedback if the conversion fails or if
gswin32c.exe is not found -- but this was always the case with
this macro).

With the new built-in MUI it would be possible to make this
interface more fancy and reliable (without installing and
launching mui.exe) but the principle is the same. After you
make the choices in the dialog it launches gswin32c.exe...

Whatever is the reason for your problem it is not caused with
the new WinEdt not being compatible with the old MUI (it is
compatible). Perhaps in the meantime you installed new version
of GS or perhaps GS cannot handle your eps figure or something
along these lines. If you cannot check the macro and see what
happens convert the file using GSView or command prompt...
